    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.

                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
