BRAKE SYSTEM:
Brake Fluid (Really Good): (TWO Bottles Needed)
-All Models: Motul RBF660
Brake Fluid (THE BEST): (ONE Bottle Needed)
-All Models: Castrol SRF
Stainless Steel Brake Lines:
-Gallardo (LP): Front & Rear Lines
-Huracan 5.2L: Front & Rear Lines
Brake Pads (FRONT):
-Gallardo (LP): EBC DP31513C
-Gallardo (Pre-LP): EBC DP31513C
-Murcielago: EBC DP31110C
Brake Pads (REAR):
-Gallardo (LP): EBC DP31110C
-Gallardo (Pre-LP): EBC DP31110C
-Murcielago: EBC DP31110C
HIGH PERFORMANCE Brake Pads (FRONT):
-Gallardo (LP): EBC DP41513R
-Gallardo (Pre-LP): EBC DP41513R
-Murcielago: EBC DP41110R
HIGH PERFORMANCE Brake Pads (REAR):
-Gallardo (LP): EBC DP41110R
-Gallardo (Pre-LP): EBC DP41110R
-Murcielago: EBC DP41110R
Brake Pads (PARKING):
-Gallardo (LP): EBC UD1034
-Gallardo (Pre-LP): EBC UD1034
-Huracan: EBC UD1034
NOTE: All iterations of the Gallardo as well as the Huracan can ALSO use the
Centric 102.09710 pad for the parking brake. It is about 1/40th the cost
of the OEM pads and 1/3 the cost of the EBC pads. It's likely not as high quality
as the EBC or OEM pads, but I'd argue it doesn't matter. The parking brake is
used to keep a stationary car stationary, so it doesn't need to be a great pad.
NOTE: Yes, there are many different type of brake fluids available. However,
Motul RBF 660 is the best fluid out there with a dry and wet boiling point
leagues past other DOT4 fluids. Its dry boiling point is 617F and its wet
boiling point is 401F.
It only costs a few dollars more per bottle, so there is no reason to try to
"save" money and get a subpar fluid.
With that said: There is one brake fluid that is not only better than RBF660,
but leagues better. Castrol SRF has a dry boiling point of 590F and,
importantly, a wet boiling point of 518F! That's over 100 degrees higher.
A dry boiling point is purely academic. The second you open the bottle, it is
now getting wetter and wetter. Wet boiling point is all that matters.
At first glance, one might see the price for SRF and immediately think "no
way, that is much too expensive." However, you need to remember that
Motul comes in 500ml bottles, while the Castrol comes in 1000ml bottles.
That means you are essentially only paying ~20 more per brake fluid flush.
Considering that you get the best fluid out there and can use it for longer, if
you wish (because of the higher boiling point), it's a no brainer to us the SRF.
