Installing Wilwood calipers - Quick Question

[Gray Ghost GT]

I'm upgrading my OEM front and rear brakes to the Wilwood SL6/SL4. Is the GT brake master cylinder/fluid reservoir the same as the GT500 to accomodate the greater brake fluid capability of these larger calipers?

Wilwood SL6 (Front) #140-9110 with #220-9111 flexline kit and SL4R (Rear) #140-9221 with #220-9248 flexline kit, and the Wilwood parking brake line kit, #330-11221. 14" two piece rotor (front) and 13" (rear).

Thanks!

Hey, Steve Poe - I saw you at VIR this past weekend with NASA. I stopped by your car and rig, but you looked busy - flushing your brake fluid, etc. at the time. Nice Mustang!! I was driving the dark grey Corvette C5 parked across from you guys up the hill. Hot as Hell that weekend!

I use the stock GT brake master cylinder/fluid reservoir with my GT500 Brembos and have lots of capacity.

Hope that helps even though it is not the question you asked

Thanks! I stopped by the Ford dealership today and they confirmed the GT and GT500 have the same brake master cylinder/fluid reservoir. I felt confident about going with the front Wilwood calipers since many upgrade to the GT500 Brembos, but I wasn't sure about when also upgrading the rear calipers. Ford and Wilwood said I'm "Good to Go".

I'm scheduled to get them installed on 11 August at Excessive Motorsports! I'll see if I can break away from work that day for a few hours and get some photos of the install.

Just discussing GT500 upgrade with stock rears on another string with Steve Poe. Have you had any problems with F/R bias? Steve thinks it could be a serious issue.

I won't have an opportunity to test and evaluate the new Wilwood BBK until the end of August at the Virginia Internationl Raceway. I'll provide a full report when I get back. You can adjust the bias by changing the type of brake pads, e.g., Some run Hawk DTC-70 or Carbotech XP12 on the front and use DTC-60 or XP10 pads on the rear, etc. I don't believe I need to install any GT500 ABS components to achieve my results based on what I've read and learned to date.
