Motul RBF 600 or something else?

[300bhp/ton]

Just about to do a brake upgrade on my Camaro. Have been recommended to use Motul RBF 600.

Anyone have any opinions on it or prefer something else?

Expensive... are you boiling normal fluid? DOT5.1 should be good enough for most cars, and is cheap.

Not really had an issue boiling it, but the stock brakes are pants tbh. The guide for the upgrade recommended this grade, but I'd not used it myself. So thought I'd look at options.

Thanks, might stick with 5.1, although while the 600 is pricey, it's only a tiny cost vs the entire brake upgrade.

Only downside with RBF 600 is that you should flush the fluid every year, as it is more hygroscopic than Dot 5.1.
Not a major hardship but something to be aware of.

I'd start with more bitey pads and see how it goes. Wouldn't bother with the braided hoses con either, I doubt that will give you more braking power.

It’s a complete front brake upgrade. New callipers, new discs and new brake lines (which are braided). Lines have to be changed though as stock ones don’t fit the new callipers.

Will probably go for 5.1 and see how I get on. It’s not for track use only fast road.
