Default Higher temp track brake fluid

Flushing out the old Honda dot 3 and looking for an upgrade. Likely doing some tracking this season and want a brake fluid that will hold up. Still running factory hoses and not looking to upgrade at this time. My guy's at Honda told me whatever I get, to not use a silicone base fluid. So I need a descent upgraded high temp non silicon brake fluid. Thanks guys.

ATE superblue
ATE type 200
Motul 600

Any of those. The superblue contains dye that will stain. Type 200 is the same stuff, but with no dye. Motul is about twice as expensive and has slightly better specs.

Castrol makes a REALLY expensive fluid, but there is no point to using it in an S2000.

Castrol SRF is the expensive stuff. Really good too- not as great a delta between wet and dry boiling point. Cured my ITR brake problems at RoadAmerica, also run it in my S2k.

Why did you get the braided lines when factory brake lines are already braided (dont let the rubber protection fool you)?

Motul is the best IMHO, its used by all the big Japanese racing teams.

Followed by that is ATE which is really good stuff also and quite a bit cheaper than motul.
