I'm moving my J65 setup to have the 13" pro series brakes from Spohn on the front. Whats recomended for brake fluid with these brakes? I'm looking for something that can cope with track days where I'll have to brake from 120mph down about 35mph every 30seconds for 30minute sessions. I'm thinking about using DOT5.1 non-mineral fluid rated to 551degrees Farenheit, or the same rated to 600F.

Any thoughts? Is DOT 5.1 fluid suitable or should it be DOT 4?

Cheers,

Si.

 

I'll post this up again. Castrol SRF is the best your can get. But they charge like it is. the ATE Superblue would be my choice for racing, unless you can cope with paying the price for castrol.
