Brake fluid
Hi folks, i am fitting my new brake setup tomorrow and i am wondering which is the best choice for brake fluid, I drive the car as it should be driven all the time and i am away to start doing a few track days. I was thinking dot 5 but not sure that is the best option
any feedback is much appreciated

Super DOT4 or DOT 5.1 is what your after DOT 5 is silicone fluid and not suitable for your car.
DOT4, Super DOT4 and DOT 5.1 are all interchangeable.

ATE racing super blue is what I use in my impreza track/road car never had any issues of boiling up. Its a dot 4+ the dot 5 stuff is used for track only motors were you can change the fluid more often as it attracts moisture even more.

Euro car parts sell it. Its good when your bleeding it, you can tell when all the old fluid has gone due to the new fluid being blue.
