Just switched to SRF this year because I got sick of flushing ATE200 every other track weekend.

Reviving this thread in prep for this next track season.
Where do most of you guys buy SRF from?

Is there a specific line of the SRF that I'm looking for?

This might be overkill for you but it's the good stuff.

FCP Euro also carries SRF, but they mark it up bigtime (now up to 100/bottle, not that long ago it was 90). However, there's a reason: buy it once, then next time you want to flush buy again and send back the old fluid for a full refund. So over time the initial upfront cost clearly becomes worth it. As TopJimmy says, buy with Paypal and you can get your return shipping cost covered as well.

Wow. Big price diff for recouping a year from now. Assuming each flush lasts me about a year.

Make sure you flush first time with at least 2ltrs of SRF. SRF is hydrophobic fluid and cannot be mixed with regular hygroscopic fluid.

Usually FCP Euro or Bimmerworld.

The best prices for SRF (that I've seen) have been at the shop in VIR.

I'm not aware of other SRF, pretty sure it's all gold bottle "react."
