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.

IMO, anyone that's heating their brakes that much is probably over braking, or has added too much horsepower without addressing their brakes with proper ducting. More than likely, a little bit of racecraft will take care of that overheating issue... brake a little sooner, a little lighter, then lift off earlier and smoother and carry the speed through the corner instead of relying on the AWD and big power to make up for over slowing on corner entry. Many drivers with lots of power and traction tend to rely on the engine to make up for poor apex speed because they simply don't know they're giving up so much because they're still faster than all the other lower hp cars out there.
Additionally, I'd be keen to know what other fluids they might have been running w/ that SuperBlue. Some of those fluids are not compatible and result in that goop you're describing.
