Guys heres where Im at, my brakes from Eric Sheas company just got delivered to the house, it feels like christmas morning. Did the fronts a couple of weeks ago, there is virtually NO BRAKE FLUID in the lines at this point, so when i connect the lines on the rear and install the brakes there of course will be no pressure. Now what? just start pouring fluid and pump the pedal? am concerned about sponginess which seems to come up alot here. any help will be greatly appreciated?

Be prepared for lots of bleeding. My system was completely new and it seemed like I'd never get all the air out. Taping on the porportionate (I know i spelled that one all wrong) valve will help to get some of the bubbles out of it. Have plenty of fluid on hand.
