Anyone have any experience with Wilwood racing brake fluid? Doesn't seem like anyone local can get ATE Superblue and the local racing shop (Mantis Racing) that I've talk to now uses Wilwood to great results.

If you are going to take your car to the track then you'll also want to consider the wet boiling temp of a fluid and that link does not give that number for the 570 and for their 600 fluid the wet boiling point of 411 is not a stellar number; you'll want to flush the fluid often to stay close to the dry boiling point.

Motul 600 and Castrol SRF are excellent fluids; I normally use the Motul but given the weak for the track brakes on the MINI I went for the SRF because it has close to a 600 degree dry boiling point and over 500 degrees wet! So, I don't have to flush it all year; just a bleed after a track day. If you have a big brake kit you can probably use an performance fluid since boiling is not likely to be a big problem.

You can easily get any brake fluid on line so I wouldn't limit my choices to what you can get locally. Also, any decent motorsports shop should be able to get you any fluid you want.
