Hi guys! So am looking into getting some speed bleeders for my stock 4 piston brakes on my 17 gt manual base. I have some questions for all my seasoned racers, I do track this car 3 or 4 times a year, are speed bleeders meant to hold up at the track? What brand should i buy? Links? Anything else I should know about speed bleeders? Thanx guys

After using them in Miatas, didn’t find any that fit the Brembos on my PP car.

All they are is a check valve tho, and any simple check valve in your bleed line will do the same thing. I used a $15 brake bleeder bottle with a check valve built in for a while and then switched to a pressure bleed system (still cheaper than a set of speed bleeders), which is far easier to use solo by yourself while keeping air out of the system.

Speed bleeders are more fragile than normal bleed screws and my worst nightmare is breaking off one of those in the caliper. Motive Power Bleeder is what I use now.
