Yeah



Double check me but for an FC you'll need (2) SB7100 for the rears and (2) SB8100 for the fronts.



They are like 7 bones a piece and shipping and handling was 4 extra.



Good luck you will prolly have yours installed before I do I am rebuilding my brakes on a budget so this time next year I will be road worthy

Just FYI...



There is a coating on the bleeders. Apparently if you bleed your brakes too often this coating can come off. Speed Bleeders sells the replacement material that must be baked on. I have heard you really do not want to substitute here with teflon tape or anything else. So just be prepared to spend a little extra cash, 10 bux for a little bitty bottle. And be prepared to have to bake this stuff on so don't trash your old ones good luck

if you are bleeding your brakes that often....your boiling the fluid or you have OCD... I change my pads once every 3 months on average, maybe more often depending on track time. I honestly have never had to bleed the system after a quick at track pad change. Your master cylinder has air in it if you need to bleed your brakes. Replace the master cylinder in my humble-rat bastard piece of **** opinion that nobody gives a **** about anyway.



I know someone that has quite a bit titanium in their legs because of a speed bleeder, i hate them also and bleed my brakes with a $50 mityvac that can also extract/pump gearbox and rear end oil

What happened with the Ti in his leg? Did they fail resulting in an accident?

Apex13B,



Please do to tell about this fellow with the Ti in his leg from speed bleeders. What were the circumstances? i.e. operator error or mechanical failure?
