Brake Fluid
I will be replacing the rear calipers this weekend on my SS (one of them is leaking, I'm doing both anyways).
The regular brake fluid is DOT3.
There are better brake fluids available (NOT the silicone type which shouldn't be used on street cars). They have higher boiling points, etc. I don't remember the type right now. I know there's synthetic brake fluid.
Has anyone used upgraded brake fluid in their SS?

If it's Dot 3 use it.
And yes always change calipers in pairs.
