Default Brake fluid

I have just bought a set of 6 pot ap brakes with Pagid rst3 pads. I will be keeping the rear Brembo’s for now and will be mainly using the car on track/ drag with the occasional club meet. What brake fluid do you all recommend? Will be running circa 750hp on track so needs to stop well.

wouldn't entertain any SILICONE fluid (dot5) for a high performance car personally, it has it uses for Classic / military use but you will get far greater performance out of a properly designed performance option...........


the PFC RH605 & RH665 are our most popular options and will operate at the top end of their class
the RH665 in particular is the ultimate fluid and being such a trend setter many others have now marketed similar fluids
