I've been meaning to make a post about this for awhile now. How badly are your guys brake pads sticking to the rotors after you park the car wet?
I've had this happen in the past with certain pads to some degree but this car is far worse than anything I've experienced. If I park the car and the pads are wet then the next morning it takes quite a bit of effort to break the pads free. It can take as much as 2-2.5k rpm and multiple lurching reverse attempts for them to free up. After they do they leave an imprint of pad material on the disc. If this was all I'd probably just ignore it but that's not the case. Eventually over the months of this happening the car will develop brake judder as the material doesn't come off. I've been unsuccessful in using successive aggressive stop technique to clean up the material. What has worked every time so far is a track day. After a track day the rotors are fine for a few months and then it gets worse again.
I'm bringing this up now because it snowed yesterday and I put the car away wet and of course it did it this morning. Considering how often I put the car away wet in the winter I know I'll probably have some terrible brake judder within the next couple of months.
