Grabby brakes in wet weather
anyone else have issues with their brakes grabbing to much when it's damp out?
Usually it's fine after a few miles but if your not ready for it, it'll activate the ABS and practically throw you threw the windshield.
Anyone know why it does this and is there any cure for it?

IT'S DAMN REAR DRUMS!! How many times does it have to be said that is what it is. Isaid it in the beginning of the thread!
Everyone keeps saying the front but if it was it would pull your steering wheel one way or the other bad. It is not the front because the people that have rear disc brakes no longer have this issue!

it works for a while then you have to do it again. ive already been down that road.
disc brakes are a permanent fix.

lol money like me... im still running drums
the issue doesnt really bother me that much anymore actually. lol it only locks up once every morning. oh well.
once you roll with 35s those drums dont lock up that easy.
