No familiar with that. Is that the same as the method where you pump the brake pedal and then drain the brake fluid out? And repeat till there air is gone or do you not need to pump the pedal to remove it that way?
no need to pump ... here is a DIY I made:

-ATE super blue is great. It can stay in longer than other more expensive race fluids

-gravity bleed is the only way to fly, because IT IS the most effective, and doing it without pedal pumping prevents mixing of the 2 fluids

-not sure I like the idea of AP2 pads...all you'll get is excessive brake dust

-AP1 pads are the way to go.

Yeah ordered the fluid. I think I am going to switch back to AP1 pads instead. I have a feeling my crappy brake feel is cause there are some non oem probably crap brake pads in there right now so I bet AP1 pads will make a nice difference!

Well just ordered AP1 brake pads from Majestic. Picked up a new valve cover gasket also as I think I might need to replace mine as there is oil around it. Hopefully that is the issue.
