If you're going to be rebuilding/flushing the system anyway, you might
as well switch over to DOT5 (synthetic), and not just for show cars --
the low moisture absorbsion mean a stiffer pedal and less frequent
changes, and it doesn't eat paint which is quite nice when you have an
expensive paint job. As far as racing, I'm not sure what specifications
the high-temp fluids come in...
