i know some use castrol srf but in my opinion its well over the top in terms of price and spec.....35-50 pound a litre
its just for fast road use...not track.
best brake fluid?

have you uprated anything else?
I'm afraid I can't see the point. Most Porsche have Brembo brakes.
Just use quality DOT 4 and change it on schedule. Can you use DOT 5 or 5.1 (both Silicone based) in the E30?

ATE Super Blue seems the consensus for fast road, just the next step up from standard fluids.
You'd only want better for track use.

Don't you wish there were a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence? There's one marked 'Brightness', but it doesn't work.

Unless you have boiled you brake fluid, don't bother. You may have actually boiled it from leaving it to long between changes.
If you really feel the need, use motul rbf500 to start with and see how you get on with that. Pikey where did you get yours from, as ordering it online adds about another £6 to post the bloody stuff. Making it £12 a litre!

ditto. used motul RBF; think it came second in a test of loads of fluids only to that stupidly expensive castrol stuff; cant fault it so far.Jon_Bmw wrote:Unless you have boiled you brake fluid, don't bother. You may have actually boiled it from leaving it to long between changes.
