is dot 5.1 brake fluid bad for the street?

[Wlee2]

ummm, my price for RBF600 from the states is $13us per 500ml bottle

more than half the price than is advertised on the tirerack site ($29us)

got any local prices for the brembo stuff?

(NB - it is better by a very small percentage than the RBF600 in DRY, but worse in WET)

OMG i hate you (JK).. i think RBF600 retails like $60+ for the 1 liter bottle. here..

actually i havent tried the RBF600 but neway..

Ill ask the place that told me about the Brembo for a price and come back to you..

i dont think it will beet your $US13 for 500ml though. thats really cheap...

just as a comparison the prices i remember of the top of my head

castrol Super Dot 4 (autobarn) $9.90 500 ml
Penrite Sin (autobarn) $13.90 500 ml

not the best place to shop but we lack distributers here in melb.

I use endless RF-650, equivilent to Dot 5, $60 for 500mL i can usually get 4-5 track days without the brakes feeling spongy, at which point i change it just for the sake of changing it.

[Jingers]

Hmmmm ok. Well the nulon super dot 4 certianly feels less spongy compared to the fluid i had before, whatever that was anyways.

Brake pressure is still good and everything is holding up just fine
