Steve, I don't know if there will be an official word, but I would hope they deliver all cars from this point out with at least the 41's. I think you will be happy with them. I feel a lot more comfortable since the swap and I am hoping the research on the master cylinder will turn up something that may make them even better.

I really don't think the 41mm size SHOULD be an issue. My Z06 had about 40mm singles in the back and it would stop so fast that the paint would keep going! It weighed 3200 lbs. I still have a feeling great performance is around the corner, but as of this date I haven't found anyone who really knows much about master cylinders relative to Wilwood caliper performance. Some have speculated earlier in the thread, but only Wilwood knows.

Wilwood knows exactly which master cylinder would work best with their calipers, but they are clammed up for some reason or they would have spoken up by now! (Liability maybe) They’ve sold calipers to 2800 cars or better. That’s 11,200 calipers sold to Superformance alone!

I've talked to Baer, and they said any brake company would have tested everything before they released it and said there's no way any brake manufacturer wouldn't know what master cylinder would match their own calipers. It just doesn’t make sense.

I've said it several times now......The brakes are safe and perform well under street conditions. Maybe even track, I don’t know yet. Superformance stepped up to the plate. The only phone call I have not received back is the one from Wilwood promising me an answer to the master cylinder issue. This was about mid to late March when they called me saying they would get back to me with an answer.

I know some will say …Now this guy is targeting Wilwood! Not true……. It's just the last part of the puzzle. If you read the thread, you will see throughout, Wilwood has been part of the quotient from the beginning. If they would have answered questions about the 34’mm calipers when this all started, I would not have gone through half the grief I have since March.

Your either part of the problem or part of the solution……………… I think that if I use their product, I deserve an answer to the last question.
