Oh yeah...and what bake pads should I go with if I don't want to deal with too much dust...because white wheels+brake dust=retarded.
I used to be a big speed-bleeder fan, but I'm changed my mind.

They're great when they're new and the stuff they put on the threads keeps a tight seal.

But once they're used a bit, the thread compound wears out, and you end up sucking air w/ 'em unless you've got a friend to help you bleed the old fashioned way. And hell, if you're gonna do it w/ help anyway, you don't need speed bleeders.

IMO, the only reason you need speed bleeders is if you need to bleed the brakes alone inbetween sessions at a track day or something, and then you need to make sure you replace the speed bleeders at least once a year, or more often if you use them frequently.
