Just replacing my front rotors, and getting better brakes pads all around, and I was planning on sticking with Honda's brake fluid, but should I 'upgrade' to a better fluid while I'm at it? This will only be for the street with maybe an autocross or two. What do you suggest? Oh, and I have a 99 GSR. Thanks.

OG racing says it has been discontinued, they still have some but supposedly ATE stopped production

i think ATE gold has the same properties or better though, not sure since i always trusted my superblue and if i couldnt get that, MOTUL 600.

 

BLUE or GOLD , same crap diff color , ones DOT legal , ones not

both good

 

there is nothing better than OEM honda fluid.

 

I believe the NSX uses a better grade of fluid. See if they can use that. I believe it is more of a racing fluid to prevent boiling.

 

both of them are the exact same stuff, the different colors make it easier to flush the old fluid out when it comes time to do that... just bleed until it starts running out the other color.

How could a brake fluid not be DOT legal? It's just a fluid w/ a high boiling point that is resistant to moisture absorption. ????????

 

Kinda OT, but it's real easy to tell you're old fluid from the new when the old is almost black. Someone before me didn't pay too much attention to the brakes. BTW I am using ATE Type 200 (the gold).
