So I went out for a hoon with coupla friends, long story short passenger side rear caliper started releasing steam and got very hot. Strangely as this was before even stamping all over the brakes. I have now ordered two new rear calipers from Brake Parts and going to fit these today.
I know theres loads of posts about fluid but cant see one which tells me, for a stock EP3 (with front Project Mu pads) for road driving, what dot should I be using - dot4? I believe from my last switch at TGM I have Brembo LCF600, but unsure of the dot as it was some time back.
Also, anyone used Pagid DOT4 brake fluid? Only one I can source at my local ECP before it gets done later this afternoon.
And does the whole system need flushing? or just the two rears that are being replaced. I assume it would be best to flush the whole system as Pagid DOT4 cannot be mixed with DOT5.1 (if i have this previously which I believe i may do).
Cheers for any input.
