jonheli Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hi AllWondered if anyone has used 'ATE Super Blue Racing' Brake Fluid?It is DOT 4 spec, and claims to give a firmer feel to the brake pedal, along with some other interesting claims. I am about to change my fluid, and wondered if anyone else has tried this?(Was intending to use it in my 911, but as you know I sold it and bought the 7 - best thing I ever did!!)

Delbert Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I wondered and then just used COMMA DOT4 - or what ever comes to hand - Brakes work fine -Are you going to be racing ?If not what chance of over heating the basic DOT4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted May 10, 2016 Member Share Posted May 10, 2016 Any specific problems with the 7's brakes as it is?Previous discussion of that product in the archives.I don't think I've ever seen a back-to-back comparison of brake fluids. But I am convinced that new is better than old.Jonathan (Crossed with Delbert's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonheli Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hi DelbertNo, not racing (I wish...!), just, ahem. 'spirited road driving' (as I believe the modern term is for it now)Its boiling point is 280 degrees C, Wet boiling Point is 198 degrees C, so I'm guessing this will be ok!

jonheli Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Thanks for that Jonathan, the archive was interesting!No real problems with the brakes (Discs all round, standard calipers), but when I first got the car, although it stopped well, just didn't have that 'sharp' feeling; changed the front pads to M1144 which were an improvement, now as fluid probably should be changed felt I'd try this fluid as I have some unused 1 litre tins.

Member Jonathan Kay Posted May 10, 2016 Member Share Posted May 10, 2016 It would be great to see a back-to-back comparison, but the cost and hassle are probably prohibitive for an individual. Might just be done by collaboration...Failing that, what improvements do they claim?ThanksJonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
