Don't have them on my car. I autocross in Stock class, and they're not allowed (silly, silly rules. Can't change your shift knob either).

The problem is that they depend on a sticky coating to seal, when they're partly undone. Work great for a while, then trouble. But the one goup that has their own internet site sells a bottle of the stuff for $8. They didn't reply to emails or phone calls to me 6 months ago.


I have a set of Russell, Speed Bleeders that I purchased from Griots Garage. I have not installed them since Griots droped them as a product and Russell is not answering their phone calls. Did they go out of business? Do these things fail and you have no brakes?
