I'm thinking Tom is right about the SRF even for street cars.

If you are getting a large color change in your brake fluid over a half year's time you must be doing something I am not doing. I run the Ford Fluid and other than the fluid that is in the calipers have never seen any noticeable color change of the fluid in the MC. Even with the new 500 degree Ford Fluid and Wilwood H pads I have not boiled the fluid yet. SRF is a great fluid but an overkill. I can still bleed the complete system almost as quick as bleeding the calipers several times per year and still be $ ahead. The amount of fluid difference is mimimal when you realize just how little fluid is in the brake pipes.

As far as the thread goes the guy that we got our car from runs the 315's on the back in both the kuhmo and the hoosier on stock Z06 wheels and his is also "stock"

Second, I have seen many posts saying you can put the 18" 315 v710s on stock z06 rears. I run TT and have a stock suspension and stock rear brake ducts. Under heavy cornering, do you guys that run this combo get any rubbing on the fender or brake duct? I read all threads but couldn't find that exact combo question asked/answered.
Thanks!
