About stock 06 STI brakes

Hey guys got a question for you some times when i first get into my car after its been raining or snowing it seems my brakes just dont want to grab good. Like you can tell the car is slowing down but not by much. After a few pumps they work fine is this normal at all. The weird thing is it doesnt happen all the time just like after its been sunny for a bit then rains hard over night but not all the time. Any help would be great.

I have the same problem with my two pots. I think they just need to warm up a bit in order to grab. Friction creates heat...

Well, after a hard rain, the rotors will get wet and devlop a layer of rust. Generally goes away after the first stop though
