Default brake fluid?

I have stock brakes right now on my 98 ex and i wanted to know something. That brake fluid, the blue something or other i'm sure of the name if someone could help me out there, will it improve my braking at all with my stock brakes? What are other performance brake fluids out there and where can i get them? Thanks

I think your talking about ATE Super Blue Racing brake fluid. Its a DOT4 fluid so there are better fluids out there. Since you have your stock brakes, this may be a worth while investment.

The only thing the fluid will do is have a higher boiling point.

You need stronger pads, larger rotors, and stainless steel lines before you bother going to a higher level brake fluid.

And, you need to be decelerating from high speeds often, otherwise, the expensive brake fluid were a waste of money.
