Anyone tried any fancy-shmancy brake fluids? AND had a better than DOT3-4 result? I know that the HP silicon stuff is BAD news for new brake systems. But what about some of the new Synthetic and DOT 5.1 and all that other stuff??
THANKS

I use ATE fluid in every car I've owned, & I'll be putting in in my 'burb when I do a brake system overhaul on it soon. It has a boiling point nearly as high as racing brake fluids such Motul, but doesn't need to be changed frequently like a true racing fluid does. Also, it comes in both clear & blue which, if you change your brake fluid yearly like I do, makes it easy to tell when you're done.

Thanks for the info! That is what I bought and I'm glad to hear someone else is using it!
Thanks again!
