Nomex Suit On:
And don't believe all that malarky (sp? hey -- I can spell GAUGE) about
needing to renewing all your hydraulics to convert from DOT 3 or 4. Drain
system. Remove fluid from MCs. Pump through at least a pint of silicone
all around, refill and bleed. My brakes did feel a touch mushier when I
did this on my GT 3 years ago, but the difference is barely noticeable. If
you upgrade to braided hoses it'll probably be a wash.
