just use honda fluids when you top everything off and you should be ok. but i would look into getting everything flushed soon, even if you may not need it. better safe than sorry!

and $89 shipped is a decent price, you could probably find a better one if you looked harder. and yes, the cheap life-time warranty rotors from autozone will work just fine. that is what many of the auto-crossers on this board do.
