Bt snake, My brakes would get spongey very fast with your standard off the shelf brake fluid. That is after a 20 minute session at PIR. We then changed to this high temp silicone and it lasted longer, with more sessions before that spongeness. If it were header heat related, it would do it every session. If you road race at least in my car, it sees some severe braking and brakes very well when the pedal is not sponge. When I let Gordon Levy drive the car the spongeness gets worse as he drives it deeper than I do. Wilwood, RDI in N.C. and Borris Said told me that silicone is not good at all for road racing. But for auto crossing or street driving I would, like you be satisfied with silicone. scott
