Best Brake Fluid For Track - Page 3

I have been experimenting with various brake pads on my 360 Spider after switching to slotted rotors up front and solids in the rear. The last pads I used were Pagid blacks in the front and blues in the rear - which performed well but had a very short life.

I have just had a Brembo Big Brake kit installed on the fronts, with Pagid blues all around. After a full flush, I am using Motul 660 brake fluid and I am running on R 888's. Also increased the negative camber a bit on both fronts and rears.

Three day track event at Summit Point starting tomorrow, so I should have a pretty good opportunity to test the new setup.

We have been running this (as is Risi Compitizione and a few others)

Here is the interesting background on that Ford fluid.

It "was developed in the early 1960’s to cure the problem caused by Lincoln Continental drivers boiling the fluid by habitually resting their left feet on the brake pedal."

Anyone know the new PN for the Ford fluid (in the plastic bottle)? Sounds like good stuff to run year 'round. However, is DOT 3 the right fluid for a 360?

AFAIK, the new PN fluid is not the same as the old DOT 3 stuff that came in the metal cans. Try doing a search at corner-carvers.com
