Has anyone put brake ducts on a Crossfire? I'd hate to be the Guinea Pig.

Be careful Les - the repair manually specifically states not to pump the brake pedal to bleed the lines. They suggest a simple gravity bleed (or vacuum bleed) - Pumping the pedal only brakes up the air bubbles down into little bubbles and distributes them through out the system.

Get some ATE Super Blue or Castol SRF fluid and suction out the majority of fluid in the reservior. Then just gravity feed each line until pure blue...

I also like Porterfield R-4E compound pads....
