#28430, "Speed Bleeders..."


          

Peace,
I'm sure that heads out there have installed these on there 2G. I'd like to know your opinions with how they perform for you. Which brand(s) are the best and is Russell a good company? I went to speedbleeders.com and I noticed the SS set up, but for $15.00 each, I have 2nd thoughts about spendin' $60.00+ before I get a lil' background check on them... I know the other version is cheaper, but I'd rather have the SS ones, more durable and less likely to break off...



Peace,
Jem

I have speedbleeders on all 4 corners. I put them on when I did my GSX swap a couple years back. They are awesome and make brake fluid changes 1 million times easier. For that alone its worth the extra money. I didnt bother with the SS ones because there is no reason for them. Mine have never broken off or rusted, pitted, or corroded. Russell is a big name in hoses and line race tech. They are solid.

I have 4 speedbleeders, but I actually stopped using them because I found something better, faster, and cheaper.

It's better because it can also bleed the master cylinder at the same time, you dont have to check the fluid level in the reservoir at all, and you can do all four corners without ever getting in to pump the brakes. Takes about 1/4 the time of doing it with speedbleeders does.

The only possible downside is you end up throwing away a lot of unneeded brake fluid simply because it's so efficient.

Wow... yeah, that's great. Shame it's too close to Christmas to ask for, will have to get in January.
