Not trying to bore anyone with a lot of reading, but I changed to AMSOIL fluid and brake fade is almost non-existant. I drive, say, 'spirited' on weekends. I never even considered steel lines. Thought the rubber was lined inside with steel. Just throwin' it out there.

AMSOIL Series 500 High-Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid

•Dry equilibrium reflux boiling point (ERBP) - the boiling point of new, freshly-opened, unused fluid.

•Wet ERBP - the boiling point of a brake fluid after it has absorbed three percent water.

The minimum dry ERBP for DOT 3 brake fluid is no less than 205°C (401°F), and the minimum wet ERBP is 140°C (284°F). That might not seem very high, but in most brake systems the fluid in the caliper won’t reach that temperature unless the brakes are abused. It only takes four percent water contamination to bring a DOT 3 fluid’s boiling point down to the federal limit.

AMSOIL Series 500 High-Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid has a dry ERBP of 274°C (525°F) and wet ERBP of 156°C (313°F).

But if I can get my hands on some Brembos, I'd do that in a heartbeat, lol
