crack the bleed and see if releases, if it does you are holding pressure on the line. make sure the rotor is centered.
You mean the Calipar centered to the rotor/

 centering the caliper is very important
(using the washers)

I do see that there is very little travel for the pistons... it almost seems like if the rotor was to thick or to much pad meat...
Have you run this set up yet... I would seat the pads
before anything

The wilwood pads are very abrasive new,and making a dragging sound till you get them bedded good.
Hope that's your problem,but if your lucks like mine its not.

Oh yeah!!! I did drive it for a few days...
They dont lock up but there a little drag to them.... I can turn the wheel with my feet but they don't spin around... they just turn and stop...

crack the bleed open and see what it does. you may have pressure on the line from the brake pedal. where is the ms mounted?
Ok, i'm going to the garage in a few to try that.. i will let you guys know about the cracking the bleeder to see if it releases the calipar.... The MS is in the stock location....

keep in mind after the brakes have been applied it takes quite a few revolutions for the runout in the rotor to push the pads away from it. I think wilwood says like 10mph
Oh, don't worry, you'll have plenty of runout with Wiljunk rotors. Mine were .012 NEW.
