Not necessarily, but if you're spending money, you might as well. You'll need to bleed the brakes when you install new brake lines, so you want to time it with a brake flush. I did my rotors and pads early on, but I didn't install SS lines until several years later.

No votes for ATE Type 200? I've used it in a 2004 Ford Mustang Cobra, '06 Hyundai Sonata, '08 F350, '06 F250, '07 Ducati 1098, '00 GSXR-750, '09 R1, '05 GSXR-750 and now the '10 Z Sport all with great success regarding fade and immediate increased firmness in the brake pedal/level in all application.

Fwiw, I've used RBF 600 in the past and it required frequent bleeds in motorcycles to keep the master cylinder lever consistently firm. In a '05 GSXR-750 with '07 Yamaha R1 master cylinder (Brembo) I had to get a remote handle adjuster as the MC level would get soft during track day sessions (i.e. Fluid getting overheated). Not to mention the RBF600 bottles says to remove and replace it's fluid in your brake system yearly as it absorbs a ton of moisture. I've never had to do that with the ATE fluid.
