I run the Stillen PS cooler and Redline D6 ATF with up to 315 R-comps with no issues. I only fill the reservoir about 2/3rds since the fluid does churn pretty good even with a cooler and the lid...

:confused:
Our cars are not designed for silicon brake fluid, that would likely be a very bad idea. It is more compressible, doesn't absorb moisture, doesn't seal as well and doesn't have the...
