Brakes questions

Hello fellow aziners,
so the time has come where my type s needs brakes so i have a couple questions and im in need of some help. so my driving style is agressive and i have a dd. i have just ordered the racingbrake 2 piece rotors for front and rb 1 piece in back, all slotted with the rb et500 pads front and back all from marcus @ heeltoe (great guy to do business with) so my questions are i am looking for the best stainless steel brake lines. i have looked at goodridge, techna fit, racingbrake and stoptech. imo stoptechs are the ones i like because they have the highest rating psi (4500 vs 3000) and they have a plastic coating around them. i want some opinions, some personal experiences with any of these.
my other question is which brake fluid motul or honda/acura. and how many bottles do i need. money is not an issue. for my type s i just want the best quality products as i intend on keeping this one for a while. thanks aziners.

SS is SS lines.
you wont necessarily feel the improvement of SS lines unless you brake constantly, IE: the TRACK.

Motul 5.1 fluid.

Call Marcus back, cancel the order, and reorder one of his HT-Spec kits. I think you'll want like stage 3? It will come with your rotors, pads, ss lines, and fluids.

I think I used almost all two bottles that came with my kit.

You'll save a ton of money.

Edit: It appears the two pieces don't come in a kit. My bad. Still, unless you are tracking, I wouldn't spend the money on two piece rotors. Just buy what I did.

If that's not enough braking power for you then I'm not sure what would be.
