Unless you're doing some racing or really pounding on the brakes, I'd say save the $$$ and just use the Ford fluid. If you drive a lot of Mountain Highways and really heat up the brakes, the ATE would be fine.

You should be able to get by on one bottle of the ATE, but I would recommend buying two, one of each color, for future bleeding. That's what most of us have done.
Right on. I think I'll go with it then.

Mike, if you've got one of each left, put me down. I'll probably need to arrange to get it outside the meet, though. I'm hoping to get the brakes done in the next month.
