Boy, I must have touched a raw nerve when I made my comment about the brake fluid reservoir...
FWIW I thought my comment was helpful. A number of people in the NorCalAudiClub have Alcon 6-pot: they all had to modify their reservoirs to handle the increased volume of fluid needed to work 6 pistons.
Clearly the Alcon pistons have more volume than the Wilwoods...and no, it's not sour grapes. I thoroughly researched big brakes. I had AP Racing (like Larry's) for a long time, then switched to StopTechs. I do NOT regret my purchase.

Some info on Wilwoods . . . .
Tons of Pantera folks use them (I think the nascar caliper . . .)
Most of the Pantera vendors offer the kit.
My Pantera has Brembo fr. Wilwood rears - been on the car about 2 or three years.
I've not heard of any issues concerning these brakes/kits.

LOL.. He doesn't know you from anyone... You were just questioning.
the 6 piston experience others have had and that's cool. Heck, I wanted to know the deal too !
I also wanted info about yearly rebuilds. We're all family here... Just sharing information.
