Default Brake fluid?

I tried searching but its disabled. Anyways, the typical honda/acura generally uses dot3 and dot4 brake fluid is it possible to use dot5 in a honda with out harming anything or losing performance, by my understanding DOT5 brake fluid is amazing for agresive driving, but I am still kinda new to this brake thing so any info is great. Alsoo what brands are good?

Go to Autozone or what have you, buy Valvoline Syn, or something like that, and be done with it. Really.

This steered me away from dot 5. I'm using some dot 4 ATE Type 200.

I got my ATE from http://www.ogracing.com . One liter is sufficient, but might be good to go ahead and get 2 just in case. They also sell redline tranny fluid

im happy with the ATE, great for its price, but currently am running the motul 5.2 fluid, not too bad under street conditions, great when she gets hot at the track. for street driving and occasional track, i recomend ATE though, buyit from Andie at Cobalt.

True. I would talk to Andie @ Cobalt. He can answer all of your questions about brakes..
