I just put Motul RBF 600 in my car. I found it at a local cycle shop (Midwest Cycle Supply) for, I think, $12 per half liter. Pretty expensive, but I only needed 1 bottle to completely fill and bleed my brake system. This is on a 240 though, so you might need more or less. I can't say what the brake fluid alone did, because when I changed it, I also changed to ss lines, and upgraded brake pads. I can say though, that with those changes, and the fluid, it made a big difference.

If I were you I would try the Ford Blue dot, stuff. I've heard good things about it as well. It has about half the wet boiling point of the Motul, but the dry boiling point is still very good, and it's much cheaper. Plus, if you change the fluid, and find out that it is in fact you master cylinder that's bad, then you wont have to spend as much for new fluid when you replace it.
