So i've noticed this on days it rains but thats its..

When its wet out it seems like my brakes lack oomph like i have to press the peddle harder to get any real slowing ability down...

Does anyone else have this happen? what would the cause and solution be?

 

happened to me this morning too. snow on the ground. just a issue with the brakes. its done it everytime it gets wet. or it moans like a dirty bitch

 

yeah squeaks and moans while going slow(leaving a parking lot) but then when at speed its more than lack luster performance hah

 

I had to slam on my brakes earlier to stop. it gave me some resistance

 

yeah, coming home at 7am right as morning rush hour is getting into swing isnt fun when you dont quite know how your brakes are going to react

 

Brembo are the suck.

 

All the SS/TC do that and it's annoying. There's an extra second or so for the water to be wiped away before the brakes work. They do work though, and work reasonably well once the water is wiped away.

 

Yeah the first timed I braked in the rain was on of those dafuq!? moments. Now i know to brake a few seconds sooner.

 

oh man, the first time was redic, i was just going knowing how the brake were dry then i hit them, thankfully no poo came out but it was close

 

omg dude you got me laughing on that one!

Yeah I never really noticed the wet braking until the last couple weeks where it's been raining every f'ing day!

 

Yep, mine act the same way. I think it's also a function of the pads and rotor being cooler. Typically, the more aggressive the pad, the less effective they are when cold.

 

Haha yeah every now and then the wet brembo gives me a bit of a surprise too when I go to brake for the first time in the rain.

 

they dont drag on the rotor like a sliding caliper so its not scraping the water off. i would assume that has something to do with it.

 

That would make sense. I thought it may have something to do with that but I wasn't sure.
