I believe I understand the advantage of DOT4+ synthetic brake fluid (higher boiling point). I understand this is important if you are rallying the car (which I do not) when temperatures would be more extreme. I have a couple of questions.

- Is the synthetic worth the extra money (I am replacing rotors, pads, and brake lines)?
- How much fluid does it require, since I would have to bleed the entire system?

And the age old question regarding pads. I am leaning towards the Akembo ceramics because they are quieter, less dust, and less harsh on the rotors, and longevity.

- do the ceramic's performance decrease apprecaibly when they are wet? what about cold?

thanks in advance.
