I installed the Stoptech slotted sport rotors with their street pads and tried a gravity bleed for the first time after seeing some posts by baer383 and spohn , although controversial. I have to say that this was probably the easiest brake bleed I have ever done and alone I may add. I only had two buckets so I started with the rear. I popped the buckets under the wheels and opened the bleeders, out comes the old fluid so I figured good start. I was refilling with ate super blue so I just kept adding fluid to the master to keep it topped up, once I saw the blue ate fluid coming out of the bleeders I closed them up and switched to the front. While the front was bleeding I took the time to rinse the rear calipers and clean them up nice. Front bleed was same process but took a lot less time obviously, cleaned them up and put everything back together. I then took the car for a drive and no problems at all, good brake feel no pedal issues whatsoever. I know some on here don't like the gravity bleed method but I figured I would put down my experience with it for those that may be wanting to try it but aren't sure. I will definitely do it this way from now on. I'll post some pics when I get home later and give my review of the brakes after I bed them properly tonight.
