I have used them on all my cars.  They are definitely available for spits 
and gt6, including clutch.  I have had two problems though.  One stuck 
closed (the little check valve) making it difficult to use.  I could not 
develop enough pressure in the system to open the check valve until I 
eliminated some of the air (defeats the purpose).  The other one was stuck 
open making it just another bleed screw.  I have not yet talked to them 
about replacing these two.
