QUOTE(bccentaur3 @ Jan 4, 2008 - 2:14 PM) [snapback]628205[/snapback] so what DOT brake fluid did you actually go with? plain ol' DOT 3. based on this quote, I don't think it matters, as long as it's a non-corrosive fluid with a high boiling point. QUOTE(95CelicaST) When I installed my KYB's I put brake fluid into the strut and then put the cartridge in. The brake fluid helps keep the heat down and absorbs some of the shock that can occur during driving. Radiator coolant works as well.

Usually by then late at night tired and cold and you more than likely work in the morning but didnt plan on it taking too long. LOL @ car projects. --------------------  |
