...plus i have a clear hose on them point the up which fills w/ fluid if you do get an air bubble it rises, and is immediately replace by the fluid above, kinda impossible to get air in them.

not impossible..

id suggest havin it submerged in fluid instead..

thanks for the info, speedbleeder sound like they would be a good option. but if i just crack the bleeder, fluid comes out becuase of gravity, they resevoir is higher than the bleeder, plus i have a clear hose on them point the up which fills w/ fluid if you do get an air bubble it rises, and is immediately replace by the fluid above, kinda impossible to get air in them.

Problem is, if you didn't build pressure before your first bleed, you already entered air into the system (the instant you opened the bleeder, air probably entered the lines due to a low pressure situation), and if you continually just bled the brake lines without building pressure first, the air will get circulated inside without being forced out.

my pedal goes a few inches down the first push then stiffens up after id say its normal for most cars to do that

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif that might be ok for city driving, but for florida driving (old people obstical corse) and racing, I want a stiff pedal

you might just have some water in your lines mike, it happens over some time.

I try to bleed mine every other month when I'm not racing
