Default ABS/Trac. Control with Big Brake Kit

Does anyone know if you still have ABS or traction control after installing a big brake kit such as the Wilwood system?

I can't speak for wilwoods, but our STOPTECH's work great with ABS. For the most part, as long as the front-rear bias is close enough that you aren't locking one wheel every time you hit the brakes, the system can adapt to almost anything.

I dont see why not ,at XTREME we use Baer Alcon 14" 6 piston systems as well as Brembo 14" systems and ABS always work,To be sure contact the vendor or Mfr. If we can assist you with your perfect kit call Nate @ 480-517-4969.Good Luck David Smilovic PS

Thanks for the info. I guess I was falsely assuming that ABS and Active Handling systems were in some way integrated in the caliper, or "plugged in" in some way. I only mentioned the Wilwood system b/c I've heard that it's the only system that works with the stock wheels...I like the "sleeper" look.

No problems at all. See my sig. for my setup. I even have a rear brake bias control I use to set the front/rear brake ratio and the ABS do not care.
