Torque rt700 brake fluid
Anyone have experience with this fluid?

Was thinking of switching to this. Seems similar to castrol srf.

Great stuff. Switched on my 07 coupe last season. Had ZERO issues with fade. I have SS pistons, spindle ducts up front and run XP10 XP8 combo for track days with R888s. I had had one of two small fade issues the previous season. This stuff is expensive, but I'm sticking with it.

A bleed before each track day is just good safety practice... you don't "have to" but I'd rather not find some microcbubbles and heat em up enuf to cause a problem during my approach to Turn 1... I think no matter what fluid you run, your procedure should be your procedure. It works so I'm not fixing it!

I used prospeed rs683 last year. I wasn't overly impressed, i wont be buying it again. I definately had some long pedal moments on "fresh" fluid on the 2nd and 3rd day of a track weekend. It held it together enough that I was still running good times just had more travel than I ever experienced in the past. As it cost me $25 a pint I figure I may as well buy srf and just not have issues for another $20 a liter.
It came out of the calipers after the 3 day more burnt looking than superblue ever did. But I never ran 3 days without at least clearing refreshing the fluid in the calipers. Though 2 days of use on superblue looked and felt less beat then 3 days of use on rs683.

Super blue seemed fine for 2 day events for me in the past, honestly better than the 683 was on the second day. My concern is that now that i will have an oil cooler(waiting till its 60 outside to get put in) i will be able to sustain longer hard runs which is also going to add heat to the brakes over time i imagine. So its possible this year nothing may work. Good problem to have i guess, probably need ducts for the 16 season.
