I used this brake fluid in my Pickup truck. When I first put it in I
noticed the Brake Pedal felt soft, like it needed bleeding. So I rebled
them but could never get that feeling of a soft pedal out of it. It is like
there is compression in the fluid, Spongy. I really don't care for it. My
truck is a 3/4 ton 4 wheel drive. Does the weight of it have a Factor,
Maybe, but we really won't know until "YOU" try it in your Roadster. Then
if it stops without a problem we will know it is ok for a light weight
Vehicle. But you Can't just drain your fluid, you will have to take it all
apart and essentially wash the Master and all the cylinders free of old
brake fluid. Then you need to spray some brake kleen into the lines and use
compressed air to move it through and out of the lines. It is not
compatable with brake fluid. I unfortunately did not take the time to do
this procedure. I changed the fluid during a brake Job, but never did blow
a cleaner through the lines, only air pressure. Maybe that is what caused
the problem, Don't know.
