AP Racing Brakes Question

[S600VXR]

What brake fluid do I use/topup with? Off to the ring again this month and want to flush the system through before I go....

Would have thought any dot 5.1 fluid would be fine.

Asking as a mate with a 325i sport has gone into this and you can get specialist fluids now which have a 200'c higher operating temperature range but they are alot more expensive! Have always used 5.1 but not had AP's before...

AP racing do their own brake fluid which runs to around 320*c.
Could be the safe bet.

About £15 for half a litre.

Another question about the AP's. I've just had mine fitted to an 04 CV8 from the fish's of the monk kind and am currently bedding them. I've done about 50 miles in them now and they're making this scratching/scraping noise from the front wheels. I've had a look at the calipers and they are not fowling the wheel at all, no scratch marks or anything so i'm just hoping this noise is normal with new brakes? Any suggestions anyone? Roger?
