Default Bleeding Brakes

When I bleed my brakes, I do the rear right, rear left, front right, front left. In that order, right? Or does that only matter with ABS.. i forgot.

Little secret is it doesnt really matter. Some like to start from furthest and work closer to mc, but the order doesnt really matter. I generally do driver rear, pass front, pass rear, driver front. Bleeds them go for track days.

out of the helms it states:
1- Rear Right
2- Front Left
3- Rear Left
4- Front Right
I guess that I have been doing it wrong all this time...

But txhatch, you're right. It still didn't matter because I have good psi with no bubbles...

Hmmm... the Helm's manual that I have for 96-98 civics says:
1 rear right
2 rear left
3 front right
4 front left

This makes sense to me because the concept is to bleed the "farthest from the brake master cylinder"
