Default Any reason NOT to put Speedbleeders on my calipers?

I now have limited access to a shop to work on my car so I'm back to working on it myself. I'd like to be able to flush my brakes easily and recall Speedbleeders helped--on a different car. Is this a bad idea on GT3 calipers?

thanks,
Ramon

Not a bad idea, have them on my car and they are a life saver. Can still use them with a pressure bleeder too should you choose. Win / Win they are a great product

They are wonderful- 10S is the size.Best pedal feel from any system I've used.

I have used them on various cars. If you are using a pressure bleeder (Motive, etc) I feel like they are not really necessary.

I have them too and like them. Easy for a 1 man bleed at the track and no need to bring the Motive bottle.

IIRC, they are actually cheaper vs the OEM screw to boot...

Based on the recommendations posted above, these sound good and I'm thinking of installing a set on my track car.
Just revisiting the original question - is there any reason to not install them?
Thanks
