Brian, I haven't had any trouble driving in driving rain.* Granted, I
only have a few rainstorms under my belt, but my braking has
been entirely predictable. Of course, the "low pedal on the first
application... after lots of highway mileage with no brake use"
that you described is also fairly predictable. Is this common then,
and if so is it just time for a seasonal bleeding or should I get
out the TRF and Moss catalogs?
