Quote: I use DOT 5 at the expense of a firm pedal. The DOT 5 is a little spongey no matter how much I bleed it.
I've used DOT 5 in several cars and never experienced a spongy pedal. My '37 has had DOT 5 in it for 25 years with zero problems. IMHO using DOT 5 in an occasional use vehicle is a no brainer, especially when restoring a brake system using new wheel cylinders, master cylinder, etc...
