Winders and Tervuren,

I think we all agree on the same thing...

On a heavily taxed brake system, Super Blue is an inadequate brake fluid.

My definition of a heavily taxed brake system is stock brakes and calipers on a pre 964 non turbo / pre 78 turbo air cooled car in a real race environment (not a DE, lapping session, etc).

Will super blue work in a system that has been modified to shed heat more effectively (turbo brakes, newer system from a boxster, big reds, etc)? Probably and Winders has reported this works with his botched together turbo brake setup.

How much does LCF600 cost? I pay about $35-$40 per pint. Yup this is pretty expensive but is about the cheapest safety equipment on my car. I have run Endless before but didn't see any benefit with the braking systems in my race cars over the LCF600 (same argument Winders makes about not using anything better than super blue in his system - his system sheds enough heat to allow a fluid with a low boiling point to work).

I think we all agree here.

With respect to changing brake fluid at an uncontrolled environment... I can't understand WTF you mean here. Bleeding brakes is bleeding brakes. As a matter of fact, we generally do the final bleed on the endurance racer at the track the night before a race. We did it last weekend at BIR... This is not open heart surgery...

I stand by my initial point, ATE super blue is a crappy brake fluid choice if you are RACING with an older 911 with STOCK ROTORS AND CALIPERS. It is cheaper to upgrade your fluid to a performance fluid such as Castrol SRF, Endless, or Brembo LCD600 than it is to change rotors and Calipers to a more modern setup.
