    Brake fluid - any recommendations?

    I'm having my AH SRi-T serviced this week and the service book says the brake fluid will be changed. I use my car on the track a few times a year so I need a high quality, high boiling point fluid so what's the best fluid to get?

    Text or call if you get stuck. I can get it from ABS but not sure how quickly they can get it in.
