Anyone try DOT 4 Synthetic Brake Fluid? (Page 4/4) La fiera OCT 21, 08:54 AM quote Originally posted by theogre: [QUOTE]Originally posted by La fiera: Also Brake Fade has little to nothing to do w/ Fluid used. Fade is caused by overheated pad/shoes etc. and most times won't cause low pedal. Might feel spongy or not during fade problems. With "cheap" pads/shoes often is easy to have this w/o glowing rotors etc. Yes, if High-Temp fluid is to be used is logical to get the correct pads to make the entire system work efficiently. In the Fiero I use Hawk DTC 30 pads along with the Wilwood fluid. My little Abarth comes with very aggressive Ferodo pads from factory and the replacement of the stock DOT4 that it comes with (which I have no idea what if its high temp) along with replacing all the rubber hoses for stainless steel gave the brake system a more positive, firm and direct brake pedal with no fade whatsoever.
