Brakes

Planing to do brakes this spring. I am going to install new TPS rotors, Hawk HPS pads,stainless brake lines. I am also flushing the brake fluid.
I was looking at using the Dot 5.1 fluid and would like to what you guys think and is it OK for a 01 vette. What about using the Dot 5.1 in the clutch
Thanks

I'd go with Prestone Syn, Dot4, in both the clutch/Brake M/C's.
