I did a search for "brake fluid for street" and didn't find the answer I was looking for, so...

I'm considering replacing the brake fluid in my street driven Z to something with a higher boiling point. I was considering 5.1 since it's compatible with what's already in my system and I wouldn't have to worry about any extensive dis-assembly of the lines or flushing to get the job done.
Or do you guys suggest something else?

I'm also thinking about upgrading the pads to a high-performance street pad. Something that doesn't require track temps, but offers better performance and fade resistance than the stock pads.
Something that doesn't eat the rotors or dust like crazy would be nice.

Or, do you guys think these mods are overkill on a street driven car?
