Default Bleed your Brakes

So I am prepping my s2k for driftwater, and I decided to change out the brake fluid since I havent changed it since I got my car in 07 and I also wanted a fluid with a higher wet and dry temperature. I called around and bap-geon actually had ate super blue for $18 which was about the same if i ordered it off the net. I did the gravity brake bleed which took forever but in the end it was worth it. The brake pedal feels rock solid. I didn't notice how "soft" it was before until I bleed it today. So if you haven't bleed your bakes out, do it. Its worth it

If you can, use the ATE-Gold. The blue stuff stains everything blue and is quite annoying.

The blue is messy and a gravity bleecd is the best there is.

I went multiple track days, 2 years of autocross, 4 trips to the Dragon without a brake bleed. (Despite knowing better...) What a difference it makes.

Yeah I need to bleed mine as well. I haven't since I prepped my car for Driftwater I did last October. You'll have to let me know how this one is. I need to get out to another one soon.

This driftwater should be pretty intense. 35 cars are signed up and we get to use the big track as well as the skid pad I think.
