Nope, same rules and procedures as the old brakes.
I used a vacuum bleeder on mine and it worked great.
Weren't the new lines fun??!?!?!

Bleeding ABS

If you do not have a vacuum bleeder, Bleed the brakes with the engine running, Because of the Hydro-boost brake System.

If you truley are referring to the abs system, yes you need a special tool to cycle the abs module to bleed that part of the system.
If you actually mean to bleed the normal part of the system, just use the old tried and true pushing the brake pedal while opening the bleeder screw on the calipers. (unless you have access to fancier equipment like a power bleeder)

Bleeding ABS

I installed new Wilwood Brakes on my 03 Cobra and tryed to bleed the brakes the old way, but it would not bleed; I had to run the engine to get the brake fluid to come out.

Can't you just cycle the key to the "ON" position, and accomplish the same thing as running the car? That is what I heard, but I haven't put my Wilwoods on yet, so I'm not sure. Still waiting (long story). :gt:

It was a close second to the IRS bushings. The main difference was the LineLok was finished in one day.
