Okay was just wondering ? What brake fluids everyone was using?

I think you can count after market brake fluid as a performance mod.
If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

I use either Motul RBF600 (DOT 4) or Ate Super Blue Racing.  As I recall, Pat (onramp) had said at one time that he didn't like Super Blue as much as Motul...
One good turn deserves another...and another...

Ken what are your thoughts on Motul 5.1

You think the 660 is overkill?

John, used both Motul 600 & 660 and decided to stay with the 600. Didn't like ATE, think I boiled it, but many people swear by it.
 
Motul is on the pricey side but so far it stands up to the track abuse I dish out.

ATE Super Blue and ATE TYP 200 (same as blue, but amber color) works fine for me on the track.

I've got ATE Type 200 and many of the PRO3 racers use it as well. Recommended to me by Carlo at TC Motorsports
