Hi, does anyone know where I can buy performance brake fluid and HPDE/autocross brake pads locally in the bay area or online on the west coast? I need to prepare this weekend for a track event coming in a couple of weeks and don't want the shipment to take more than a week.

Specifically, I'm looking for ATE Super Blue brake fluid and Carbotech Panther Plus/Cobalt GT Spec/Ferodo DS3000 brake pads.

Thanks!

If you REALLY want ATE, you can buy ATE from Rolls Royce and Land Rover dealerships....some MBZ dealerships have them too.

Valvoline Synpower DOT4 worked well enough for me at the track, paired with Colbalt GT-Sports. You can find the bottle at Autozone or Kragen.

Try the s2ki marketplace or PM ludedude for the Go Fast Lab.

IMO, skip the DS3000 as they are too aggressive. Go with Cobalt GT.
Also, use the Motul RBF600 fluid instead of ATE.

Thanks for all the input, I've decided to "one stop shop" at Porterfield (in SoCal) for a set of R4's and ATE Blue (and Gold for the next track event - hehe).

By the way, I ran the Cobalt GTs at Streets Of Willow late last year and they were great pads; didn't really abuse 'em though so I wanted to try something more aggressive to see what it was like.

I got my ATE fluid at New Dimensions in Santa Clara .

R4's aren't more aggressive than GT's and they are less rotor friendly from my experience.

The ATE worked pretty good for me at Sears approaching 10 at a buck 10.
