Default bleed the rear brakes

I don't think anyone has mentioned BLEED the back calipers...

At 16,000 miles, and maybe 12 track days, my 289 and the rear pads may have worn a little, but I sure can't see it.

(I know...I'm not driving hard enough...hey, track day next week at Willow...)

However, bleeding the brakes, especially the rears is easy to over look. Helps to have someone push the pedal while you open/close the bleeder...I can do it by twisting in the seat, but the neck cramps aren't worth it...get a helper.
