You guys are the only ones I trust so...
I have an '04 RS with no ABS and I was thinking of putting in some DOT 5 break fluid.Â* Does RRE recommend it or not?Â* Some RRE brake lines will be going in at the same time too.

It wouldn't hurt to use in your evo. The fluid is just really expensive. Dot 5 has a boiling point of over 500 degrees and will not absorb water. Since you have no ABS it would be fine to use, just make sure you don't mix it DOT 3 or 4 that would lead to disaster.

I would stick with the Motul 600c that we sell. There is just so many worries when changing to the silicone based fluids. Someone somewhere will add the regular stuff and mess things up. With a ABS system it is so difficult to get all the 3/4 fluid out.
