Brake fluid?!
« on: January 11, 2015, 07:49:59 pm »
Hi guys

Just got myself a set an R32 front brake set up and when I fit them, I also want to change the brake fluid too.

Can anyone recommend me a decent brake fluid to use with this set up and how much of it I will need?

Thanks! :happy2:

I've always used motul RBF 660 very good fluid , and it's got a high boiling point so it's good stuff for track work

Ah must be where I'm going wrong. Changing my fluid next week with new disn and pads. Previous owner had used non OEM discs and pads. Yesterday morning had a loud scrubbing crunching coming from the front left wheel. Had a look and the inner pad is bare metal. Outside pad has quarter life left.

So might upgrade the fluid and braided lines
