Made emergency stop while ago. Still thinking if I could of done anything different. Was thinking about brake fluid. Read that "racing" brake fluid is better but also saw info saying "don't mixes fluid types" with the main differences in types are the boiling point of the fluid.
Question:
-Doing a brake fluid flush and upgrade to more heavy duty type be of any help in stopping distances?
"Racing" brake fluids are often silicon based and not hygroscopic (do not absorb water). You want your brake fluid to absorb water and road car brake fluid absorbs water by design. If not you would have water concentrations that would boil causing brake failure.
