locking up breaks in the cold
well i learned today, if u have a heated garage, and u go out in the snow with ur car, when u come back, let it dry before u go back out cause if u use ur ebrake when ur parked somewhere and u come back, ur back breaks will be locked up, and they are a pita to get loose, just an fyi.
Happens every time I wash mine in the garage with the ebrake set, the brakepads rust to the rotors. I try to leave it in gear now instead. Sometimes I'll kill the engine before they let go. Hawk HPS.
I've never had a cars breaks lock up bad enough from ice where I couldn't move the car; Usually 800rpm in first gear is enough to unlock all four breaks.
Your cars got 200+ ft-lbs of torque and you cant break a few millimeters of ice off the rotors?

Yeah, that happens to me too. Sometimes when the car sits a couple days, most weekends actually, it takes a little bit of force to get them to let go of the rotor.
And it has nothing at all to do with the caliper slides and lack of grease.
