Fluid and pads

I am getting ready to change the fluid in my breaks for a driving school. Does anyone recommend anything special that isn't over the top exensive? I may also change my pads for the day, but I do not want to spend a much of mone on those either because I plan to get willwoods in the spring.

Thanks,

sean

For fluid, ATE Super Blue is a good starting point. It will probably be good enough, and isn't crazy expensive. The next step up would be Motul RBF 600.

Pads are a whole 'nother can of worm, and I haven't found the right answer yet myself. Others swear by the Carbotech Panther pads as seen on this page:

But I haven't tried them myself yet.
