    The particular incident involved a country road w/ no prior hard braking coming out of a corner accelerating and was greeted by three HORSES. I was doing roughly 75mph when the brake pedal was pushed through the floor board (almost literally), and the last 15mph braking forces were drastically reduced. Also had next to zero sliding tire from rather 'hard' tires. IMO The low dust is not an equal trade off to poor braking.

    Ive used ATE Super blue for the last two and half years, and recently have been complaining about a soft pedal. What is the best solution to this Way, outside from swapping fluids ?

    I understand Bro. There is an event at Streets coming up towards the end of July if you have any interest. I'm gonna try to get the brake ducting sorted before then. :Thumbsup:

    I changed the last car to Motul and it got a little better, but I really think it does something to the seals cause it still never got back 100%. The customer didn't want to try to replace the master cylinder due to cost. I'll tell you 3 fluid changes later we still got green fluid out of it.

    I wonder if the Motul DOT5.1 causes the same kind of damage. That's not the first complaint I've seen. I'd never use ATE blue either, since it ruined the master cylinder on one of my VWs.

    I've used ATE Super Blue for the past 6 years & for me it's a good fluid. Easy to find & not too spendy. The brakes feel fine to my non-calibrated arthritic ankle.
