Default Caliper bleed order

OK, so I was taught the correct way to bleed your brakes is farthest to closet to the Master Cylinder. For a LHD car, that's passenger rear --> drivers rear --> passenger front --> drivers front.

However, when I got my WRX, I discovered that wasn't neccessarily true anymore with the newer 'dual-diagonal' systems. So, the order goes like this: driver's rear, passenger front, passenger rear, drivers front.

My question is....in the S, do I bleed the S the tradional way or do the S have adual-diagonal circuit. Therefore, do it that way?

thanks
mike

I always do LF RF RR LR.

Now I use Speedbleeders and 2 bottles and do both front/rear at the same time

Where do you get speedbleeders? I checked their site and they don't have a size listed for the S2000

I found the size needed somewhere on this website (in 2003)

Sorry you will have to use the dreaded search feature...

That is the recommended order for this car.

(I believe this was from XViper AND the service manual)
