I need to swap my pads and discs as they are end of life soon (MY99) 38K miles. Was going for the TSL setup as I have only heard doog things about it.
So I thought - why not change to fluid from the OEM as done every two years to a dot 5 and also have braided hoses.
I was chatting to a guy @work who said that mineral fluids cause the rubbers on the master cylinder to expand at a different rate to fully synthetic ones. So swapping fluids may have an advese reation on the rubbers.
Can anyone comment on this ?
Thanks.
