call vid hubbards to see if they have the speed bleeders.

otherwise, all speedbleeders has on their threads are liquid sealant. so if you wanna teflon tape, try that too.

Okay I bled all my brakes again in the proper order. I took one last look to make sure nothing was leaking then turned on the car, drove down the street and my brakes still feel just as spongy as before... what the hell?? I don't even understand what could be going wrong.

EDIT: FYI this is my brake setup-

Goodridge lines
ATE fluid
Cobb Street pads

bleed the clutch when you bleed your brakes, they share the same fluid reservoir...

They use the same type of fluid but they are not the same reservoir. Bleeding the clutch is not like doing the brakes. You can't use a vacuum type on it either. Have a look here:

If you can't view the link you should be able to soon, we reached our goal and Kastle will be removing the PPV sometime soon if he has not already.

I'm not sure what's going on. When the person you are having help is pumping the brakes back up are they doing it slowly or quickly stabbing at the pedal? If you pump too fast that can create a problem w/ small bubbles. It should be done slowly and deliberately. Also at any time did you let the fluid go so low in the reservoir that it started sucking air? That would be a bad thing, especially if the air got all the way to the ABS unit. I don't think that happened just asking.
