Brembo and Endless are the only BFs that you will find in F1 cars. That says a lot.

I saw the same article over a year ago and did some additional research. I contacted Torque directly with no success. I then found some race shops that carried Torque and found that almost all of them had switched from Torque RT700 to Prospeed RS683. It turns out that Prospeed was the original development team and producer. So essentially it is the same product at a greater value.

I was running SRF. I was considering Brembo HTC64T. It was recommended by a trusted acquaintance. I ended up going with Prospeed. Better value/about $7 per .5 ltr. savings over Brembo and significant savings over Endless (I swap out DOT4 at the very least once a year and bleed as needed). The numbers on wet and dry boiling, compressibility, resistance to H2O absorption after boiling are superior to both. Ultimately the pH numbers sold me (seals last longer).

Bonus; I also discovered that Andretti Autosport runs it in their IndyCar.

Best of all, it is produced and was developed in the USA!

FWIW, I recently swapped out my OEM brake (flex) lines with some really sexy CF lines (thanks Mani), which certainly added a firmer pedal. However, IMHO the difference between SRF and Prospeed is night and day. Amazingly firm and predictable pedal feel with zero fade so far.

Just my $0.02.
