Any Reviews on StopTech STR-600 Brake Fluid?

searched but couldnt find anything at all on the stoptech fluid. i need to do a flush and want to try something other than the Ate fluid. its a Stop tech BBK and i dont track so mostly looking for good pedal feel and not something i need to flush too frequently. i know everyone loves the endless fluid but thats more than i need and dont really see how the extra cost would benefit me much. the stoptech fluid looks good on paper and at a good price (about $17 for 500ml) but wondering if anyone has actual experience with this?

before the wise asses chime in i have read the comparisons and whats a popular choice i am strictly asking about the stoptech fluid or if you have something to say in direct comparison with the stoptech fluid

thanks

If you don't track, why not use stock fluid? It works well and lasts years

Performance fluids all have to be flushed more often with the exception of Castrol SRF, but it doesn't make sense to put that into a stock car

When Turner Motorsport installed the SS lines with the BBK they recommended Ate at the time over the OE which was OK now I don’t remember what the OE fluid felt like and never used it with the BBK. I don’t mind flushing it every other year even if it’s not a full second year.

Why not start tracking instead of staring at it in your garage

Because unlike you I only have one M3, and because MA sucks (the no fun state)

I used it for a while after I did my str40 front kit it was tossed in by the vendor. It’s brake fluid.

ATE TYP 200 is cheap from FCP euro and is a good fluid for aggressive street/light track duty
