A few years ago lots of people were using GS160..

NASCAR guys on the short track, and many others. Biggest issue was getting the stuff.

Its supposed to make a come back for 2010 though. And the price is reasonable.

Whats the price on the tilton stuff?

I've added both Tilton fluids (including prices - note that they come in SMALL bottles, 250 ml) to our most recent list of brake fluids, boiling points, and prices.

Thanks for the info. I saw the TSR-1 stuff at the SCCA Runoffs and was curious. A little too expensive for my ITA car where the fluid is likely waaaay overkill (Since the Valvoline stuff has been working fine for me). Will definitely keep it in mind for future and other cars.
