^^So, would you recommend it? I'm kinda curious myself because I was thinking about getting one for when I install the Brembos I just bought.

edit: Nevermind, ...found what I was looking for.

Yes, I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you're replacing calipers. Air gets back up into the system (ABS pump probably) and it's almost impossible to bleed the old fashioned way. A pressure bleeder is definitely the key to doing it right.

Short version; I replaced my stock non-brembo brakes with a BBK shortly after warpping the front rotors approx. 2 years ago. I experienced the "air in the ABS" during my last bleed the "old fashion way". Hopefully, air bubbles will be the thiing of the past!!

Thanks for your response.

Not exactly. They make a universal connector (cone shaped rubber adapter) than supposedly can fit on a clutch MC or a non-standard brake MC.

The kit had the correct universal connector to do the 05 enthusiast.
