That's 5.1, not 600 or 660. |

I think most people will be just fine for quite a few track days with off-the-shelf DOT4 at less than $7/liter:

Yeah, that's not RBF600... 5.1 is roughly half the price of RBF600.

On any single track day, you're spending hundreds of dollars in track fees, gas and amortization of consumables (tires, engine oil, trans oil, brake pads, etc etc etc) , plus risking total loss on a $25K+ vehicle. It wouldn't be smart to incurr in all those costs, and still choose not to use a proper motorports brake fluid. |

Touche...my bad on that! The conversation merged into Motul writ-large, which I think everyone immediately thinks 600/660...looks like I'm the a$$!

RBF600 is not good enought for hard core braking. |

There's no way you're boiling RBF600 on stock brake pads without feeling pad fade LONG before the fluid boils.

A note on Carbotech pads. We're told they can't be run on discs that have had any other type pad. A guy at Carbotech said I could just clean the discs with sandpaper and that worked fine for me. |
