Hey guys has anyone installed a Wilwood big brake package on their car? I've had nothing but issues and their tech line is useless. I got the 6 piston super light front calipers and single piston with internal e-brake rear. This is all going into a 2000 Mustang GT. ABS No traction control.
Now to the real issue. The new E-brake cable is about a foot longer than stock so you can NOT route it the same way even though the instruction say too. I did mostly the same path but had to route it in the wheel well in order to have a clean run with no bends. Now when you pull the parking brake it only releases halfway and I can not get it to release unless I either go to the caliper or the e brake handle and manually move it. The spring on the back on the caliper is very light or easy to compress compared to the stock calipers. I could engage and disengage the parking brake very easily by hand with the new caliper. So now the caliper spring wont overcome the cable and wilwood wont give me an answer why they just said they cant help me anymore i just need to adjust it per the instructions. So anyone have any ideas since im at a dead end??
Thanks
John
