Why would you drop huge coin on a BBK for a non tracked car and then put regular fluid in it? Yes, it will work perfectly fine with any regular DOT 3 fluid. You could pay $2.99 for a quart of it at WalMart and be done. But if you're going with a premium set of brakes, I'd guess you'd pay a few more bucks for a premium fluid. But the regular stiff will work just fine.

Are you going to use a set of OEM pads for them too?

Simple question, simple answer. No need for the stuff in between.

Nope. The sponsorship and show car thing answers a whole lot of questions. I was very curious because I wondered why a BBK if you never plan to track it. That answers it. Thanks for the explanation.
