 Castrol SRF  racing brake fluid?
 DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 5, and DOT 5.1?
ATE Super Blue Racing fluid?

Complete new system: lines, master cylinder with hydra-boost, valves and Wildwood calipers
What are your thoughts and what are you using.

Thanks

I would go DOT5,  it won't eat your paint if something were to leak!!

Been using Valvoline synthetic dot 4 in my street cars lately.

Back in my circuit track days I used Red Devil 600+ competition fluid.
