Brake upgrade

Post by Fatneck73 » Wed Feb 29, 2012 11:01 pm

So at Brunters, my pedal went squidgy which I understand means I've boiled the fluid. Any recommendations on what fluid to replace it with or any recommendations on specific available upgrades (discs, pads, lines) etc???

This is what I use in my track toy.

Nudenut had the same issue at Spa, the guy who looks after my car changed the brake fluid to this, problem solved.
