depends what use you are putting the car to.....regular 'dot4' is fine for normal road use, however, it won't cope with anything but the lightest of brakers in track use......

make sure that the DOT 5.1 you use is compatible with the existing fluid, or make sure you bleed every line to ensure the old fluid is removed.
