Motul RBF600 Synthetic DOT 4 the one I should be looking at? how much do I need? Is it necessary to change out my brake lines if I will only be tracking occasionally?

I will probably only track a few times a year so normal street driving would be more important. Just want to feel safe when i do track, but I am not hardcore. Also, any idea how long my stock factory pads will last before I get to change them naturally as opposed to replacing them while they're still fine?
see sig, we run carbotech xp8's. It's a good track pad if you're not a maniac on the track (mike, he's fast ), and I find them totally streetable and carbotech's have non corrosive dust, at least the xp8's seem to since no wheel damage and 4 track days and 1000's of street miles on them so far.

motul rbf 600, forged performance lines (or any other good quality line)
