ATE Super Blue... It's colored blue, which is nice so you can tell exactly when you're purged all the existing fluid (unless it's already blue . In that case, there is a amber equivalent of Super Blue, but I can't remember the name at the moment.

For a daily driver and occasional spirited excursions? ... Valvoline Syn-Power

If you open track the car several times a year, then look at SB or Motul.

If you are serious, hit tracks often and don't want to worry about bleeding your brakes, Castrol SRF. I'm still running the same fluid after 2 years of racing. It's wet BP is higher than most fluid's dry.

I use the synpower also in my brakes and some pennzoil dot4 in my clutch. I would use the ATE if you want to spend the money.

Sponsors carry ATE Super Blue.

Sam Strano is one that I know for sure that has it (I've bought it from him). It may not be listed on his website, but call him.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather buy from a Sponsor.
