    Default Which Brake Fluid Are You Running In Your Cobra Brakes?

    Well, the time is coming to do the MM manual brake conversion and 94/95 Cobra MC swap on my 85 GT. I am going to be flushing the fluid and was curious what everybody is running in their Cobra brake swaps? I don't remember what fluid I used when I did the swap 10+ years ago, so I'll flush the system and use whatever will be best. I do plan on running the car hard at open track events in addition to hard street driving. Thanks!

    LS swaps are the hair implants of the car world. Sure the owner is proud, but everyone else is laughing.

    Many consider this to be the best brake fluid for racing. Not cheap, but then again, neither is racing.

    Dry Boiling Point 590°F
    Wet Boiling Point 518°F
    Each bottle contains 1 L, most vehicles require 1 liter for a full flush.
    Recommended for hydraulic clutch systems also.

    ATE Type 200 is a very good, affordable brake fluid for a dual use car. That's a solid choice.
