This stuff look like it would do a good job? Going to do the 30k flush this weekend/Monday.

Little cheaper than the brembro stuff.... The car will see some track time soon.

I think I read somewhere that's good stuff too and def not as expensive as the brembo stuff.
I've been using ATE ?2000 blue brake fluid that I bought for the track.

after being on the track for the past several years, in vehicles in every weight category (Mazda RX7 FD, EVO X, IS-F)

the best brake fluids to use imho is either the RBF600 or the new Endless fluid

great stuff

ATE Super Blue, its cheaper and switching from there blue to gold fluid makes flushing the lines easier.

The Motul does have higher temps though.
