Default OT: Chicago People I need Help on Where to Buy Supplies!

Where can I buy some good quality brake fluid in the Chicago area? What would you reccomend for a Type-R that sees some track use but not a ton. I also need a speed bleeder. Where can I get one!?

Thanks!

I would recommend Motul 600. I know TAD Motorsports in Lake Zurich sells it... although they recently started a policy of not working on street cars. But they might still be willing to sell Motul. Otherwise, maybe Northstar Motorsports in Barrington...?

I also need a speed bleeder. Where can I get one!?

I've used Motul and it's worked fine.

I haven't used speed bleeders, and I never bleed my brakes (although I flush fluid at the start of every track season). I haven't had brakes fade or boiled my fluid in a long time, though. My brake heat problems are usually manifest as shudder (from "hot spots") and/or cracked rotors. Must be the Motul.

A friend of mine swears by Speedbleeders. And a different friend says that Pepboys carries them although I've never gone to look for them so I can't confirm.
