Close, the fluid we recommend is the Motul RBF600 due to its very high dry and wet boiling points and compatibility with factory brake systems. If you do not plan on tracking the car and dont forsee a situation where the fluid would be prone to boiling then a standard DOT 4 fluid will probably take care of you just fine. If you are interested in an upgraded fluid that costs less than the RBF600, the Motul 5.1 is probably the best choice. The 5.1 fluid is designed to have smaller molecules and a thinner consistency that allows ABS pulses to be better transferred through the system. It will also offer better dry and wet boiling temps than a standard DOT 4 fluid if you do end up tracking the car on occasion.

I upgraded my fronts with 14" stoptechs, replaced rear with SS lines, stoptech drilled OEM rotors and axxis pads. Do you really need F & R 14"? Just 14" on fronts, stops unbelievably well. 80-90% of braking is done by fronts.
Anyway, ATE blue Race fluid. Drained entire system bleed, bleed and then bleed.

We actually dont stock the ATE Super Blue anymore since it was found that the dye caused issues with the system seals on some cars and that it can stain the brake fluid resevoir blue. We now stock the ATE type 200 which is the same formula as the super blue but without the dye. Also a good choice as a brake fluid upgade with excellent value.
