Back again. This time we are covering:
+Stoptech Stainless Steel Brake Line Kit (Thanks Jeremy/Yo @
FT-86 SpeedFactory)
+Motul RBF 600 (Thanks Adam @
No Limit Motorsport)
+Speed Bleeders
Thanks @
cobrabyte for helping me install this and being the hand model. Lol for shameless @
Racecomp Engineering displays in all my photos
I'll break it out into Rear, Front, then Flush
Overall feedback
+The StopTech lines do not give or flex during brake actuation. The OEM lines are very flexible (4000mi). This should improve brake response times, since you don't have to exert energy to overcome the flex. I do notice the brakes bite sooner.
+The StopTech rear lines do not have the L bend at the caliper connection like the OEM lines. It still fits and works great but not 100% like OEM.
+I have not driven the car hard enough to see the benefit of the high temp fluid.
+I only used 1L of fluid to do the line change and flush. I had 3L on hand just in case.
+Speed bleeder valves work like a champ. At first they seemed gimmicky, but they do what they say. @
cobrabyte and I are now believers. Crack open the bleeder and just pump the brakes. Each pump pushes a spring loaded ball bearing out of the way to let fluid out. Then closes on the pedal return preventing air from coming in. You don't need two people anymore or special vacuums to bleed or flush brakes. I might bleed my brakes on each oil change. I hate air in my lines.
+The last bit of flex in the braking system is in the master cylinder. Please hurry @
GrimmSpeed. I want your brace

I strongly urge you to have more fluid than you need and have all the tools ready especially if you are doing this alone and this is your only vehicle
If you are not using speed bleeders, ignore all the references to them. I only cover the traditional and speed bleeder methods of bleeding and flushing fluid.
You'll need to raise the car. A lift makes this 100x easier, but if you use stands, please lift the entire car onto stands to keep it level. Refer to @
