check this first
I've had exactly the same symptoms, it was just a matter of rear brake adjustment. When the discs are wet initially the rear drums do more of the work, so small differences in shoe adjustments are much more noticeable. An easy fix.

Also remember that he said that he only changed one rear brake hose. :wink:

Disc brakes don't hold water in them. It spins straight off. There may be a touch of water on the pad but not enough to cause any problem.

I already did a full brake restoration.(basically)

Mastercylinders rebuilt
new brake cylinders
Rebuilt calipers.
3x brake hoses (left the drivers rear- worked, and too much of a pain to replace)

Only things i didnt replace are front brake pads, booster,discs

It brakes as it is supposed to when its not raining/wet. It brakes as it is supposed to after a few brakes in the wet (presumably when the pad and the disc is dry)

So to me it has something to do with water


are both rotors the same thickness? and are they both within tolerance for thickness

fit new pads!

fit that 4th brake line!

or put in to a brake specialist...

Do this before it spears you off the road and either you and/or the car are damaged :idea:
