Finally found some Blue at Sport Haus, good call!! In stock and $26.56/can. As far as the price, I guess you pay for convenience, summit has it at 13.95/can but it's not in stock at any of their warehouses. I may just give the wilwood DOT 4 a try, it's at 626/417 and 18.95 for 16.9oz. Have you heard anything good or bad about Wilwood?
NO DOT 5!!! It doesn't mix with 3 & 4, and has very specific uses which we do not meet.

Ouch... That is a bit of markup...

If I recall, Wilwood is just too pricey. Even at $26.56/l for ATE, it is still better than $38/l for Wilwood, and I think I found something that said it was even more hydroscopic than most DOT 4s. Might call a couple more German car places. They often lean toward ATE.
