Brakes making grinding sound when raining or wet
What up all, has anyone experienced a problem with their 2K SE brakes making a grinding noise when wet or raining? My right front brake does this only when it's wet. I felt both sides of the rotor and don't feel any gouges or rough spots. The dealer I bought the car from replaced both front rotors and pads being that they we squeaking when applied. I am wondering if it's the pads or rotors causing this.
But none the less it is sooo F*#king aggravating.

It is if while driving a while in the rain it still happens I would wonder what was going on.

THAT would be rust on the rotors. Pretty common.

Are you talking about the whole time you have been driving for several miles and several stops (during the rain), or just during the first few stops after having the car sit for a period of time (rain or dry after a rain)?

Clean your disk brake and Caliper once a month. I used to have the same problem, after I clean Caliper and disk brake, I no longer hear the noise.

brembo blanks are regular rotors (not drilled/slotted) made by Brembo...they better than stock and from what I hear on other sites, slotted/drilled actually are worse than blanks because of the less surface area...
for $40 u can't go wrong....thats the price for OEM rotors

those are fast drying formula, after spraying it, let the brake dust and dirt to drip on the ground. It is safe for direct spraying on Disk brake and Caliper.

Also, be VERY careful around any painted body panels, etc.
Actually, if you think that is too much effort, why don't you just take the car somewhere for a 'brake inspection', have them check it out, spray if needed, and while there you could always have them rotate the tires (if you can talk them into it).
