Yes, through me. I just went through 3 cases of ATE Super Blue and Gold Racing. I have a hook up that gets me fluid at distributor costs, of which I buy cases of it. Then I turn around and sell it to the local S2000 crowd, now the Lexus crowd, and other friends at my cost (**no profit**).

I just do it for the benefit of the automotive enthusiast community at large. I have to put a new order in, but once I do, I usually get fluid in about 1 week's time.

i've never used it, i'm not expecting any "performance" gains since I currently have a stock brake setup and i dont race/track my car. Since this brake fluid is dyed blue, I can be certain that i've gotten all the old fluid out of the lines and trac system when i perform a flush.

Reasons why I use Super ATE Blue and Racing Gold:

1. It takes a lot to boil it.
2. I've got a lot of good personal experience using it in almost all my cars.
3. There's two products (gold and blue); both offer the same results, but with color differentiation, I can tell that I have gotten a proof positive bleed each time I do a flush.
4. As compared to other brake fluids that are performance minded (and not off the shelf from WalMart), I get a damn good price on it (typically around $10 a bottle and don't have to pay Northstar Motorsports $18/bottle or whatever they charge now-a-days).
5. Every major German manufacturer stands behind ATE.
6. I use the brake fluid in my two other cars and keeps me from having to buy a different fluid for the third car.

do you alternate flushes with the blue and super gold? i do have to flush my trac accumulator too, i figured i could activate the pump by either applying 12v to it, should be much safer than flooring the accelerator while the car is on a lift.
