I have had them in my Talon for 2 yrs. No real major problems with them except for one check valve malfunctioned and would leak fluid. They replaced it with no hassle.

The important thing is to keep the threads "lubed" up with the "goo" they sell, it keeps the threads from letting air in.

As far as bleeding brakes with them, its sooooooo easy. Its still nice to have an extra person to help out, but not necessary.

Hope this helps

Most folks on the Miata list love them. A couple claim they can get a firmer pedal with the manual method. I haven't installed my set yet, so no first hand info.

I've been using them for the last 3-4 years and love them.

Well, they arrived today. I'll get them installed some time soon...

I ordered extra goo too.

I have the Motive Pressure Bleeder and it has worked very well for me. However, the speedbleeders sound good too. I do have a question for those who have used the speedbleeders. If you have to pump the pedal, does this eliminate the ability to visually inspect the fluid for bubbles as it exits the bleed nipple?

I like to watch the fluid in the tube as I bleed until there are no more bubbles. How is this done with speedbleeders?
