Default RS 683 brake fluid

Thinking of changing my ATE Racing Blue to Prospeed RS 683, mostly bc it's readily available where I live. Anybody on here have any experience with this type of brake fluid ?
Thanks in advance.

I use and like it never had a problem w/ ATE200(ATE blue is just 200 w/ a blue dye in it) either though. Whether you need it or not depends on your rotor temps, if they run high than 683 is way better than 200

the reason I switched was it is American made

Thanks Bill, for me it's not a performance issue, I do 1 or 2 DE's a year and have never had a problem with brakes or the Ate fluid, I am just out of ATE and it's a pain to get where I live, whereas RS 683 is readily available same place I buy Brad Penn oil.

Porsche Teams Flying Lizards and JDX Racing have switched to Torque RT700. Torque RT700 has ranked up more Porsche team wins in the last year than RS683 did in the previous 3 years. And now through the end of this month you get 4 bottles for the price of 3. Lindsey Racing is a Torque RT700 dealer. Or just Google/Bing "Torque RT700" and you will have no problem finding it.

Thanks BoostBuggy, but I am located in Canada, and brake fluids/oils are some of the hardest things to ship across borders.

Check Perry Auto Laval. They are listed on the Torque web site.

They may have switched to the Torque brand, but the stuff in the bottle is the same fluid. RS683 is much less expensive and easier to find, especially in Canada. I am pretty sure that Jeff Alton at Turn 3 Autosport carries RS683 in Canada.
