So I stuck with Typ200 (too bad you can't get super blue anymore)

Isn't Typ200 the same as Superblue, just without the blue? So I've heard.

If not, how is Typ200 overall? Good? Bad? As effective as Motul RBF 600?

Yes, it is the same.

It deteriorates pretty quickly in my experience with it and I was bleeding it out quite regularly. I can get about 6 track days out of RBF600 before it starts to brown.

Ahh, cool, that's all I need to know. I've access to a free bottle of Typ200, so that's why I was asking. Probably just gonna purchase RBF 600 though.

I used "SuperBlue" once, and it underperformed vs. OTS parts-store Dot4. Got a soft pedal after a single track day, had to bleed on day 2. Vs going half a season without bleeding with off-the-shelft DOT4.

IMO, I think 90% of those of us who track these cars are gonna be totally fine with "normal" brand-name (i.w. Pennzoil, Castrol, etc) parts-store DOT4.

Sadly I haven't been able to track my BRZ much but I had Typ200 in my E46. I think I had it in for 2 years and bled it maybe once? I was competing in time attack but only had Hawk HPS pads for most of that time. The pads would fade before the fluid did.

I had DTC 60 pads for my last track weekend in that car and I still didn't experience any fade.

3300 lb car with single pot calipers compared to our 2800 lb, double pot front but tiny rear pads.
