Alpina Question, owners please read

[Hick]

Problem ive noticed today, this may seem odd and be a hard to answer or follow question, but im gonna ask.

In the rain, with real Alpinas 16"ers, does it appear as if the brakes are not there for a little while? As in, does it seem as if the rotors are covered in water and the brakes do not work until after a seconds or so.

Ive used other 16"ers with a more open design [5 spokes] and never had this problem.

Just curious

[Jordan]

Are your brake backing plates still in place?

[Hick]

Yes. Brake system is fine otherwise.

I know it seems like an odd question, but im curious if anyone else with 16" alpinas have noticed the same thing.

[Court M3]

never has this problem when mine were on this summer

[e30sd]

never had this problem either

[Hick]

well damn. its still doing it. Cant be glazed pads because the brakes work great otherwise and i know what that feels like.

Im just going to get some 'Clean-wheelz' plates and call it quits!
