Additional Information and Recommendations
•NOTE: With the installation of after market disc brakes, the wheel track may change depending on the application. Check your wheel
offset before final assembly.
•Please read the following concerning balancing the brake bias on 4 wheel disc vehicles.
This Scion brake kit can be operated using the stock OEM master cylinder. However, as with most suspension and tire
modifications (from OEM specifications), changing the brakes may alter the front to rear brake bias. Rear brakes should not lock
up before the front. Brake system evaluation and tests should be performed by persons experienced in the installation and proper
operation of brake systems. Evaluation and tests should be performed under controlled conditions. Start by making several
stops from low speeds then gradually work up to higher speeds. Always utilize safety restraint systems while operating vehicle.
•For optimum performance, fill and bleed the new system with Wilwood Hi-Temp° 570 grade fluid or EXP 600 Plus. For severe braking
or sustained high heat operation, use Wilwood EXP 600 Plus Racing Brake Fluid. Used fluid must be completely flushed from the
system to prevent contamination. NOTE: Silicone DOT 5 brake fluid is NOT recommended for racing or performance driving.
•To properly bleed the brake system, begin with the caliper farthest from the master cylinder. Bleed the outboard bleed screw first, then
the inboard. Repeat the procedure until all calipers in the system are bled, ending with the caliper closest to the master cylinder. If the
caliper is fitted with bleed screws on four corners, make sure the bottom bleed screws are tight. Only bleed from the top bleed screws.
NOTE: When using a new master cylinder, it is important to bench bleed the master cylinder first.
•If after following the instructions you still have difficulty in assembling or bleeding your Wilwood disc brakes, consult your local chassis
builder, or retailer where the kit was purchased for further assistance.
