Hi there, I was just wondering if anybody else have similar experience with their upgraded Brake/Disk setup.
Here it goes... for some time now, I've realised that when I was driving in a rainy day an put my car (MY00) into my Garage (dry Parking space), the next morning the brakes are pretty sticky (pads stick to the disks). I then have to put quite a bit of force on the throttle to release them with a 'clonky' sound. After this, they are all good. It really needs quite a bit of force (from the throttle) to release them.
Has anybody experienced somethin similar?? BTW, I have the Mov-it (Porsche) setup (GT3), but this could also be the case with other afermarket brands. Outside temperature is around 5 degrees Celcius now, inside (Garage) around 12 degrees.
Many thanks for your thoughts. Do I have to worry to rip them off someday?

Sounds to me as though you need to use the brakes a little more when getting near home, enough to get a little warmth into them so that they're dry when you park, and not wet!

Hi RON, thanks for the quick answer. I will try this out next time/tomorrow (since it's raining anyway). I guess temperature could be the reason. Any other thoughts?
