Hi all, changing my discs and pads next month... was using RC5+ now going to advance to the RC6 pads with some OEM style discs, I used to run Motul RBF660 fluid, is this still as good as any other or are there any better? My car in question does not see any road miles and is purely for track abuse. Thanks!

I remember reading once that one of the racers uses cheap DOT5.1 fluid... works fine for me, under £10 a litre thumbsup

Only Castrol SRF is in a league of it's own on wet ERBP.

The 660 is in there with the high end dry ERBP numbers. Keep using that.

I use Motul RBF600 with RC6 pads. Never had any issues and that’s including 3 track days in the south of France in temps of 38deg. It’s cheaper than 660 as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I use Motul RBF660 as I get it for cost price. But is actually brilliant stuff. Causes absolutely no problems and it means I can choose to give the brakes a bit of wellybon a track day if needed, although I find Im quicker if I dont drive to 10/10ths
