Might have an air bubble trapped in the caliper. Give it some good whacks with a rubber mallet. There might be something clogging the bleeder screw as well, so pull that out all the way and give it a good look.

If you just installed the kit, you need to displace all of the air inside the caliper and lines with fluid before any will come out of the bleeder. That's going to take a while, so keep at it, everything is normal.

Thanks for the input got them to bleed with the help of a pressure pump... Took it out yesterday everything went well was goin fine then on my way home I noticed a popping sound coming from the driver side only when I apply the brakes tho.. Jacked the car up eveything looks to be ok nothing hitting anything, checked the other side just to be sure it was fine as well, tested it again and still doin it, brought the car back in, re did the brake bleeding on the driver side just to be sure, tested it again and it's STILL doin it.. Im @ a lose, nothing ever goes the way it's supposed to.. Idk what it could be.. ABS maybe?!? It's only on that one side.. If anyone has any idea please let me know! Im stumped and just want it right! Thanks

You have to make measurements and install shims with the Wilwoods if I remember correctly. Any chance that is causing the issue?

Are the brake lines secured to the shocks? Could the sound be the lines hitting up against something when they are pressurized? Maybe check to see any scuffs on the lines or any spots on the shocks or anything near the lines to see if there has been contact.
