just ordered a big brake kit from 'brake caliper refurbs' got some 8 pot r8 calipers coming in solar orange to match the car.

just wondered if thers anything special i need to know wen it comes to bleeding the brakes? as the last time i played about with brakes was about 6 years ago on a vauxhall nova lol

Get an easibleed kit rather than using the 2 person manual way from what I've heard pressing the pedal all the way down can damage the master cylinder seals

1 litre will do it mate, bleed 250ml through each wheel to fully replace the fluid or just do the fronts as required.
