    Two weeks ago I`ve had fitted my Brembos,I used Castrol Response DOT4 synthetyc brake fluid,however I had almost 1 litre of Ate Superblue in garage on the shelf.
    I`m happy with Castrol,doing the job properly.

    ATE Super Blue:-

    Wouldn't 5.1 be overkill unless you're tracking the car a lot?
    ATE Super Blue is relatively cheap and a high enough spec I would have thought... though you do drive like a nutter!

    Another vote for Super Blue here. Mine is a few years old now and has just started to get a bit of pedal fade at the end of a track session. Has been awesome for the whole time it's been in, with many track sessions in between.

    Super Blue recommendation from me too. Used for as long as I've had my VR4 with no problems at all even when on track.
    1997 Mitsubishi RVR HSGR : 2.0 4G63T, 4 seats and the seating position from a truck
    2009 Ford Mondeo : 2.2TDCi, 4 wheels, some plastics, some metal and some seats

    another super blue user here,

    i imported it from the states in bulk, since its not available here in nz

    my dad uses this in his bike,
    only one that solved the sponginess issue he was having with other fluids,

    Karl, you're willing to spend £40 on brake fluid when you can get the best performing and VFM one for £20?
    I've got a litre of the 5.1 stuff you linked to. It's in an unmarked can and you can have it for £35 if you like. BTW it has a quite super looking blue tinge to it!

    Find your local GSF Carl, they are the cheapest for super blue by quite a bit. and super blue is awesome, i won't use anything else, all my cars use it, and all the cars i look after use it too, and no complaints at all
