I also have the goodridge braided lines, and can recommend them. Pedal feeling seems very solid, and i know i didn't do a brilliant job of bleeding the system last time it was done; i replaced all my cooper lines at the same time due to most of the unions corroded when i tried fitting the braided lines.
For fluid i'm using a high boiling dot 4 which is compatible and equivalent to dot 5.1, very good stuff. Has never boiled; a friends 205 using the same fluid runs it and he's had the same stuff in his car for two years now doing 5 track days as well as regularly using it as a road car.
The update on the pads is, it looks like i won't be getting the red dot pads, not that i was expecting any different
There was a 3-4 week order time and the company i bought them from has said red dot didn't send your order to them and the factory is now closed for the next 5 weeks, however they have offered an alternative pad if they find such a thing, or i'll receive a refund, i know what my moneys on
So pad wise, it looks like i will be using new standard pads (I think bendix) with my new discs. From my experience, the pads do fade towards the middle to end part of the day if doing a whole days tracking; and before each event i rough the surface of the pad and disc up. With the new discs grooves this should hopefully minimise the fading a little.
Removing the calipers, cleaning the sliders and plenty of copper greasing does wonders for my brakes. I have reconditioned calipers approx 1 and a half years old and it amazes me how quickly they can start the seizing effect, mainly due to lack of use. So there all taken off and cleaned while i rough the pads up
