Best Racing Brake Fluid

The most important link of a racing brake system is the brake fluid. Sometimes this gets overlooked because the choice of the brake fluid may be political or based upon price being the brake fluid a consumable. Here the key factors to look at to make the best choice:

1. Compressibility: This is crucial in order to take full advantage of the stiffness of the calipers. If the fluid loses compressiblity the driver will feel spongy pedal and the modulation of the braking power gets worse. It is important to look at the curve of Compressibility vs. Temperature - supplied by the fluid maker - to see the correlation of the stiffness and the caliper temperature. The consistency of the brakes performance at high temperature is what's desirable to accomplish. The flatter that curve the better.

2. Dry Boiling Point: This is the temperaure which the fluid boils at when it is unopened. Nowadays this values range around 600F which is pretty remarkable however if the caliper temperature goes up in the 500F range, problems to the seals might occur, as well as the aluminum loses strenght.

3. Wet Boiling Point: This is a DOT procedure. The DOT4 specification mandates the wet point must be over 392F. This is mainly applied to brake fluid for OE passenger cars however there are independent labs that can perform this test on Racing brake fluids.

4. Compatibility: One of the most important tests that the brake makers carry out to validate a brake fluid is the compatibility to the rubber components such as seals, dust boots, master cylinders parts and pieces, etc.. The test runs hundreds thousands cycles which simulate the life of the brake components, it involves many procedures to make sure all the components meet the specification at the end of the test.

Another important characteristic of a brake fluid is the hygroscopicity which is the measured as the % of water the fluid absorbs when exposed to moisture. This is crucial expecially for Stock Cars where the teams change calipers and master cylinders in the garage to test several brakes combinations. The more water is absorbed the more it loweres the brake fluid boiling points. This can be tested in a lab as well.

Last but not least is the chemical composition of the brake fluid that might include toxic substances that are may not legal by the local government so the fluid itself can be banned. Most fluid chemical compositions are patented.

 

We have reported great feedback by users from all types of Racing applications for the new Brembo HTC64 brake fluid. It is the least compressible out there and with over 630F it's got the highest dry boiling point. The links here below for C&R Racing and Hoerr, that's where this fluid can be purchased.

Brake pads for 2004 350z w/ brembo brakes?

I need to buy new break pads for my 350z but I dont really know much about brake pad brands...I checked ebay and they have: hawk, stoptech and other brands that are fairly cheap but i dont know if they are good brands.
What is a good brand to buy? i'm not looking for cheapy brake pads or crazy expensive just a good decent brand that works well. Thanks

cheap and good brake pads from centrics. warner is a good brand too. whatever you do, do not buy from autozone. their brake pads sucks.

Red Bull controlled the Turkish GP before throwing it all away - but can closest rivals McLaren attack them at the unique Montreal track?
