Recommendation for Brake Fluid

Hey guys,

Shortly I will be installing EBC GD sport slotted rotors, with redstuff pads on the entire car, with a set of Russell Stainless Steel Brake Lines. Which Brake fluid would you guys go with? Synthetic? Silicon Based? Ive heard the Motul 600series fluid is good. What do you guys think?

Thanks.

i've been using rbf 600 for the last 2 years, so far so good, been thru numerous track days, with no problems, as long as you remember to flush accordingly

i would not recommend ate super blue since i only used it for one year 2 years ago and my used fluid is still coming out tinted green,

if you dont track, oem fluid is perfectly fine, flushing once a year is ok or 2x if you drive aggressively

Most important thing is to have fresh clean fluid...a bit of water makes more of a difference in the boiling points ( wet) than the differences between good fluids

+1 for the Castrol. Long-lasting, gentle on seals, cheap, and locally available (for most.)
However, you don't state the application. Since you are getting slotted rotors, I guess the answer is "looks."
In that case, get the ATE. Then you can choose from red, blue, or purple by mixing. Whichever coordinates well with the rest of your engine bay.

ate dyes your system and the color wont come out for years, if your willing to deal with that then its a pretty good fluid,
