RE bleeding, I've managed to have a fair share of experience. Especially in these little cars.

The top bleeders are all you need to worry about, air rises. On my front Wilwoods, there are bleeders on top and bottom, and I only bother with the tops.

I've had trouble getting the air out IF my pedal pumper is easy on the pedal. When we are almost done, as in almost all fluid and no air comes out of the bleeder, it is time to get aggressive. I have the pumper vigorously pump three times, then hold. Push rapidly, with high effort. You'd be amazed at the little tiny bubbles that come out. This gets ALL the air out, which is what you want.

I've tried vacuum bleeding, pressure bleeding, and IMHO plain old manual bleeding is the best way to go.
