I had a 4-piston OEM brake setup in a previous car and I hated it for general use (on track they were great). The calipers were aluminum and the bleeders were steel. Galvanic corrosion worked its magic each time I needed to bleed fluid and the bleeders would strip out the thread (be careful not to over tighten!). Queue trip to caliper rebuilder or part store. I'd recommend getting a vacuum operated pump so that you have fewer tighten/untighten bleeding sessions to avoid fatigue.

I wasn't planning on bleeding the brakes myself. Is it easy?
