You DO NOT want to use DOT 5 anything.
If you are having issues with your fluid boiling, you have other major problems
that a higher boiling point fluid wont fix.
Read about DOT 5 before you convert to a silicone based fluid.
Bad news. Boiling points are not the only factor when specing
brake fluids. The Mustang Mags have done many write-ups
on the differences in the DOT fluid specs.

5 is silicone based, whereas 5.1 is synthetic and made out of the same stuff as 3 and 4.
and I haven't had any problems, I was just reccommended to go up to 4 or 5.1 since I'll be starting track stuff soon.

Got these 4 Perfomance rotors 3 months ago on ebay.
What a mistake.....
Total junk, rust everywhere, vibrate like a vibrators ;}, pads that came with them broke in shipping.
And poor stopping power compared to the original gt rotors.
Stay away from these. $200 down the drain.
