I was riding with a guy at SMMP in Pahrump, and he was using blue. We went off at the hairpin because he lost pedal completely. That shit turned to goop when we bled it, it had the consistency of chewed bubble gum stuck to the pavement on a hot day. I dont know, you guys have subys so maybe its different but our brembos get HOT. Hot enough to turn the calipers black. Mine have started to turn a bit of brownbo too, but when I put on my two piece rotors it helped quite a bit on fade during 30 min sessions. If you guys havent had a problem with ATE then I wouldnt worry about it, but I have heard a few horror stories about it turning gummy and taking multiple flushes to get it all out (in chunks) on evoM.

All I can say is the bigtime trackwhores on evoM use mainly Castrol SRF. Then its either Motul rbf600 or the Amsoil racing dot 4 (its pretty cheap too, similar dry as motul but a bit lower wet IIRC). Im just going by what the other track junkies talk about across the country, like I said I use motul and have never had a problem.
