Default I did not either

but it did make a difference. Not sure which Brembo fluid I have but that sounds right. Look on carbotech website and you will see what I used.

If you are using the DOT 5 stuff that is a silicone based fluid and should not be used in a performace situation. Make sure you flush it well to get all of that stuff out. I would purchase some DOT 3 or 4 stuff and use it to flush it out and then flush that stuff out with the Brembo fluid.

I was running the Prestone DOT 4 synthetic and apparently it sucks. LOL

Per Carbotech, I took a 2 inch abrasive disc and went over the rotors to get the old brake material off before I put the new pads on and bedded them in.
