I understand that's a headache, but it's not insurmountable.
Pads and fluid yes but not $30 fluid. I tried DOT 4 and after 20 minutes at the track the fluid boiled. Dot 5.1 cost $75-120 but I lasted all day at the track. (A different track so I still want an apples to apples comparisson.)

Look at my signature to see all the extras but without anything, driving 10 seconds a lap slower, I could avoid brake fade with the stock set up. I can not imagine off track driving where police patrol and DOT 5.1 is needed.
