I didn't notice any change in the clutch feel or actuation after the fluid change and bleeding but at least both my brakes and clutch systems are all fresh DOT4 now. Installed MTI SS brake lines and Hawk HPS pads along with a complete flush of the brake system today. The pads and SS lines are a definite improvement, well worth the $$ and effort.

Yesterday I got my calipers in and installed them along with some stainless lines as well. I used IPS's lines since I was able to get them on sale for $80 shipped. Should mostly be DOT4 now after bleeding.

I meant to flush my clutch resevoir while I was at it. Need to setup a reminder to do it tomorrow.
