Change them. Spa is a 5th/6th gear 3x a lap circuit.And one of the big straights leads onto a near hairpin.
Its not so much them being stock its the heat they generate.
Too much heat means the fluid will boil. Believe me that isnt nice and gives you no warning.

Change your fluid to at least 5.1 "At least" 5.1? I've being using Castrol SRF, which is classified as Super Dot 4, the main difference between this and normal Dot 4 is the dry boiling point, which is around 320C compared to 260C degrees. Definitely change pads. Standard dot 4 so long as it's reasonably fresh should suffice.

I meant a better fluid in general so my comment of at least 5.1 isnt totally correct
Standard dot 4 so long as it's reasonably fresh should suffice
I wouldnt take the risk... For the sake of a few quid extra and using a better/higher boiling point fluid

Is it racing fluid? If yes, would you have to change it quite regularly?
I think this is what was put in my car recently...
Now in the 400+ bhp club!

The one thing I changed on my car before I went to Spa last year was the pads. Went from standard (that aren't bad, but you WILL get fading on Spa, definitely, and lousy pedal feel with it, and maybe visit the grass or gravel) to race pads and it's the best mod I ever did. What pads did you use Kayjey? and the shop a couple of doors along from mine has these http://www.taste-deli-cafe.co.uk/images/stories/whisky1.jpg@£95 I can bring you one to Spa

I use standard discs, pagid yellows and castrol SRF. The car stops well from high speed with no fade.
