    What's the proper order to bleed the brakes on a 2G?

    there is no specific order. just follow the directions on your bleeder.

    You always start as far away from the master cylinder as posible and work your way down.If your car is abs I hope you didn't send fluid back to your abs pump,it can/may mess things up.

    I don't follow you on the abs pump thing... explain :) I do have abs and need to bleed all 4 corners. I put bigger calipers up front and SS lines all the way around.

    I know how to bleed brakes, don't need that explained. I just need to know anything DSM specific that might differ from other cars, if there is anything.

    Well since you're installing new Calipers you have nothing to worry about.But the main thing is that ABS Valves weren't meant to take pressure back into the valve.They have small valve bodies like in a auto transmission and they can get messed up when youre compressing the caliper piston back inside the housing.if the bleeder valve is not open the fluid goes back thru the system into the abs valve which wasn't designed to withstand backpressure.this will either mess up the little valves in the pump,the solenoids,or other parts inside those damm things.your car will still brake fine,but you wont have abs and you'll probably have an abs light.
