Brake question

[Larry" <rocco16v@netzero.com (Larry)]

Greg-

I would NOT put slotted discs only on the rear if you are experiencing wet
braking problems.
Think about it, slotted rears will 'dry out' quicker than the un-slotted
fronts.  It's wet, you mash the brakes, neither front nor rear respond for a
millisecond, at which point the rears GRAB....now what?
You ever do a handbrake turn?
Well, you are about to do (another) one now!!!

 Slotted discs will help with the water problem, but put them on both ends
if possible.  If not, put them on the front first....
