Default Brake fluid

Hi,

Been on the look for a pair of Brembos for my car and i think i found the right one's. Know, i've also have the ST170 rear setup to install, and braided hoses all around and since i have to renew the brake fluid, i'll just put some better one. Since the Focus use the same fluid for clutch and brake, what do you guys with the big bhp FRS use?

I've heard that the Focus brake system is very sensible to DOT 5.1 brake fluid and that it won't do any good to the system.

Castrol SRF is a DOT 4 performance brake fluid, right?
