And which ones.

I have a spare set of calipers I just rebuilt and figure I will replace the bleeders while I am at it. I know that www.speedbleeders.com has them, but I have also heard of others. Are they track safe??

I don't think there are any torque specs when installing them. It is a matter of feel, too little and you will experiance a weeping leak(which did occur to me at the track) too much and you will torque the speedbleeder off into the caliper and be totally screwed. I have total confidence in them for track use, but bring the proper wrenchs and sockets and visually monitor them after the first few runs.

I have the "real" Speed Bleeders (SB1010) on my 87 and it make it very easy to bleed or flush the brakes by myself. I always bleed the brakes before each autocross event and do a flush with new fluid before track events.

The Speed Bleeders are a bit more expensive, but IMHO, are a much better deal than the Russell bleeders.

If you go with the Speed Bleeders, get the small bottle of the sealant they sell. After about a dozen times of using the bleeders, you should replace the sealant to insure they will not leak. They also have a nifty bleeding package that has a length of tube and a plastic pouch so you can keep it in the car. Makes it easy to bleed and collect the fluid.

I cannot say my expeirence with Speedbleeders was good. Installed on two cars both had either leaking problems or sucked air during bleeding. Finally gave up and put the stock valves back in. Could have been installer error but I am glad they are gone.

I've had a set of speedbleeders on my car for a little over a year now and have had no problems.

I have had nothing but a great experience with them. I would get their bleeder bag as well as it makes this a breeze and easy to get rid of the fluid. This is my second vette with them, so not just a lucky fluke. You do have to be careful with how tight. Just get them on, then pump the pedal to make sure they don't leak and off you go.

I use them and will continue using them on any track car I own... they are cake to bleed the car with.

I had one leak and they sent one right away. They are OK but a PITA Now I just use an old container with some brake fluid place the hose end in it to bleed by myself.
