Which brake fluid?

[Steve]

Fast road track use any recommendations?

Had Castrol Super in the T.

Heard good things about SRF, but it's costly?

castrol super is fine, ATE superblue is rated too.

tbh if your boiling fluid you have issues lol.

I use car lube dot 4 in mine, never had a problem with it on track or road.

Castrol Super response . . . been in the T since I had it, replaced with same, had no issues.

ATE superblue is the b****cks. Agree with ben though, DOT4 carlube has never let me down

Castrol Super here. No complaints. Only bonus with ATE is you can tell when it's fully changed.

I was chatting to a pro rally driver the other day and he was saying that standard fluid for ABS brakes is as good as any, the lines are the important thing. He change them for braided and stick to the standard fluid for track. He's been a pro rally driver for 20 years and seemed to know his onions.

Rally nuts had the best price last time I checked for the ATE Super Blue Racing brake fluid...

£16.85 (although I am sure it was cheaper last year)

They where decent guys to deal with and a speedy delivery!

Yes, any DOT 5.1 is worth going for. Don't bother with DOT 4 as DOT 5.1 is higher spec and not too pricey.

Any of the ATE fluids are good . The 200 has the same wet and dry boiling point as the super blue and is a lot cheaper, it's just not blue.

Good shout, good deal

5.1 is necessarily higher spec. It just has a higher boiling point. DONT buy cheap 5.1. I boiled it many times. You cant beat decent fluid
