Hi all,got new brakes to fit on the 3dr. They are AP 355 6POTS up front and the 300mm kit off NORTH YORKS SPARES with the sapphire 4x4 callipers for the rear.
Just wondering what the best brake fluid would be to use.
Would halfords dot 5.1 be ok, or go for somthing else?
Cheers ARY

In my opinon it should be fine m8.....nothing is made by Halfrauds anyhow so you'll prob find its made by the same ppl that make most other makes of brake fluid

There was a topic not so long back explaining why a good dot 4 is beeter than dot 5.1

So i would go for a good dot 4 with a higher boiling temp

Srf is the best stuff but its not cheap especialy when you need 2 bottles!

is this more for track use?
i've never done a track day and don't know if i ever will, so i take it i'll be ok with dot 5.1?

If you wont be tracking it stick with a good dot 4

Apparently dot 5.1 absorbs more moisture!
