Wilwood rears with LS1 fronts? I am running LS1 brakes on my 94. With SS lines and Hawk pads. And I was starting to have issues with my rear brakes. And the whole system is shot. Each caliper has a pin rusted and stuck in the braket. And new calipers pads and rotors and SS lines will run almost as much as the Wilwood 4 piston setup.
So question is will running wilwood rear with the LS1 fronts hurt me?
I got the LS1's with the plan of doing the wilwood front and rear setup. But wasn't planing to do so till this fall. And don't have the spare cash for fronts. Till after my wedding in july.

The biggest concern will be brake proportioning. The Wilwood brakes will provide considerably more braking power than the stock ones potentially causing issues. Are You keeping the factory ABS intact? If not then having either an adjustable proportioning valve or the correct fixed valve for Your application will likely get You going.

Sweet! I have an ABS delete kit W/ proprtioning valve in the garage waiting to go on.ill go ahead and get that installed. And get the brakes odered. Car is sittiing in driveway begging to be driven. Did whole bunch of suspension upgrades over winter and can't enjoy them
I've read people having problems getting parking brake to work. But haven't found a fix for the cables hook up. What is the fix?

Here is a link to the rear brake kits I presume You have heard people having problems hooking up the park brake cable...
http://www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/Bra...odeloption=All Disc Brake Rear.
if indeed these are the kits in question notice there is a Wilwood park brake cable listed as well, part #330-9371 $119.00. This is the solution to parking brake cable issues for this brake kit.
Hope this helps,
Carl
