You may as well put the higher grade in ...
I`ve put 5.1 in my civic and the brakes are perfect , I get no fade at all.... and they get seriously hot ....

Dot 4 should do you fine. What brakes have you got?

dot 4 would be grand for the like of a track event or something with small stage miles.but if ur for doing the like of any national events ud be better of wi 5.1.
