I just realized that "brake fluid" discussions have almost reached the pantheon of classic RL discussions/debates/fights:

H&N restraints
oil viscosity
tow vehicles

Same. But in a 944 n/a, I don't have to stop as much.

I did however do a search on Endless before creating this thread and only found this thread on Endless brakes:
https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...-calipers.html

I just wanted to shed some light on what I experienced/learned in the last week or so; maybe shed some light on a product no one has used before.

I have a heavy car, use SRF, fill and forget. Change once a year just before the beginning of the season and have never had to bleed the brakes.

That's kinda what I'm a bit confused about. Am I the only one here that's ever heard of the brand Endless? I checked out their website and noticed that their brake pads are also quite popular.

How can a company that provides the OE Brake Fluid on Porsche Cup Cars, and is chosen on half of the cars that raced at the 24 Hours at the Nurburgring using Endless pads (which 9 of the top 12 Porsches used Endless pads.) have never been mentioned on this forum?

Just sounds so weird to me. I'm going to give them a call this upcoming week and speak with a representative there. Endless sounds like a company that's really behind the scenes, but definitely out there in real motorsports world.

Cheers to a New Find!

Hey, what's wrong or not as good about Super Blue? It seems to be working, never have a spongie pedal, but I just wish i had as much luck with my rotors. I bleed every 2 or 3 race weekends.

I use Super blue, and Castrol LMA, the hydroscopic nature of some of the others requires a little more maintenance. I use nothing other than the LMA ($6.00/Pint) in my FF racer, it weighs 1100lbs though, and I change it after every race.

Super blue in the p-cars

Fluid DRY WET
Castrol LMA DOT 3/4 446 311
Ford Heavy Duty DOT 3 550 290
ATE Super Blue Racing 536 392
ATE TYP 200 536 392
Motul Racing 600 585 421
Castrol SRF 590 518
Performance Friction 550 284
