Brake fluid recommendation??

I need to change the brake fluid, and while I was searching around, I came across the PROSPEED GS610 Racing Brake Fluid.

http://www.gs610.com/specifications.htm

I've never heard of it, but it has really high dry/wet boiling points compared to other DOT 4.0 brake fluid; actually, the highest I've seen so far.

It's about 5 times more expensive than the Ate Super Blue, too.

I was wondering if anybody has heard about this product, or better yet, tried it out themselves.

Advice welcome.

Super Blue...seems like most people have had good results with it, , not that I think it'd make a significant difference for most people, don't know about you.

I have about 10+ years on the original brake fluid on one of the cars...I'll flush it in September. Will probably use Prestone "Synthetic" DOT3 fluid from Walmart @ $4/qt. Btw, "synthetic" brake fluid is really a joke, as all DOT3s are synthetic due to their build.

Filter1.com sells Wix filters (good quality) for good prices....

Amsoil has their Ea filters, which are top-of-the-line (better than Wix) for about $12...they also carry Wix filters.

I purchase from a sponsorer off Bobistheoilguy....

Yeah, I have been using Ate Super Blue. I want to try something new, though. I was just curious if anybody has had experience with the GS610.

It seems like one of those "small company made great product" deal. I had never heard of Prospeed until now. It could be all BS or actually true. www.saferacer.com says it's the only brake fluid they carry because it's all you need. I've had great experience with saferacer.com, so I'm inclined to believe them.

But I don't believe them enough to just take their word and risk the car.
