Brake fluid upgrade from DOT 3......
Hey guys i need your help! I recently changed my front discs and pads to EBC race discs and yellow stuff pads whick are pretty good. Problem is brake fade and high speed? Ive been reliably informed thats its my brake fluid boiling and will need to be changed. The car is 4 years old and using standard dot 3 fluid. What dot of fluid can i use as an upgrade without causing problems with seals etc?? Its a 2005 WRX TURBO blob eye.

Motul RBF600, very good fluid:
AZTEC PERFORMANCE ONLINE STORE - WHOLESALE PRICES DIRECT TO THE PUBLIC - Brakes :: Subaru Impreza :: Performance Friction Discs & Pads :: Motul RBF600 High Temperature Brake Fluid (500ml Bottle)
Also, are you running uprated pads on the rear too? If not, it would be worth changing them to Yellowstuff"R" too.

firstly if you give a more detailed description of your "fade" it wil help people give you more accurate advice............
also if the car is 4yr old and never had its fluid changed then simply flushing it and replacing 'like for like' will see a vast improvement normally
