Any reason you ditching the Motul? I have always liked their products.
buddy of mine used to run the 600, and kept boiling it (hes quite aggressive on the brakes at the track). tells me he likes the endless fluid alot better, and that its impossible to boil. so figured id give them a try. im not sure about others... but im always looking for excuses to upgrade something.. almost cried when i had to pay 400+ for new brake pads for my track day next month. but also remember, i am trying to slow down a 3900 pound car with 500+hp. everything overheats lol.
Wow, just looked it up and the only reason is because its blue! Luckily the amber is still available.
Our tax dollars at work!
that is possibly the stupidest shit in the world. last car ran it on was my genesis. i beat on it and didn't have an issue with the temp.
My thoughts exactly. I switch between ATE amber/blue after every track day on my Subaru.
I went to Summit point first time with stock brake fluid, pads, and rotors. I experienced brake fade in second lap when I pushed the car a little harder; brake fade is a very scary feeling, even in a controlled environment. To me, experiencing brake fade is equivalent to free falling :haha:. Then I put StopTech rotors and pads, Goodrich SS lines, and replaced brake fluid with ATE type 200. Difference in stopping power was immediate and very little to no fade. Only disappointment was that brake pedal in WRX still feels soft, when compared to VT's brake pedal feel. But my best upgrade on WRX was sticky summer tires with stiff side walls.
Motul is good but expensive when compared to ATE. If your VT is on the track every weekend, I'd say spend your $ on Motul, but for occasional track days ATE is plenty.
