You guys that already have them know.

If you recently took delivery, do 3 firm stops before you need to. If you drive another half mile, do 3 more. Rinse repeat.

If anyone knows a better solution, I would like to hear it.

Never an issue in the rain, however after carwash ( can not hand wash in the winter) yes..press the break pedal and watch the car continues rolling...so what I do is: while moving ie right foot on the gas..my left goes on the break pedal until I feel the the bite is back to normal.

The first time I hit the brakes in the rain, it was a real eyeopener.

I usually feel a slight 'delay' in the rain, but they always end up biting on the initial press - have never needed to release and try again.

Same here. It will bite before long but the initial delay can be disturbing. In heavy rain I tap the brakes every now and then trying to avoid the problem.

I drove hot laps for 2 hours at Monticello in rain with my GT3RS and never had an issue. Didn't even think about braking differently. Haven't driven my Turbo S in the rain yet, so I'll see if there is any difference on the street.

Ceramics certainly take time to warm up... but other than that I'm no less confident in the wet than on dry roads...

replying late, but initial breaking in the recent heavy rains in So Cal surprised me - the car didn't stop. Keeping the left foot occasionally handy to keep 'em dry helped.

Yep, although i have never noticed the issue on my previous PCCB equiped 2 997 GT3RS's and my 996 Turbo Cab.
I had a long drive home from the Swiss alps last summer in my new TT S Cab through prolonged periods of heavy rain.

I nearly had a very big moment when some cars slowed down quickly, and although i had what i thought was a more than adequate gap to the car in front, i needed pretty much all of it before i got any bite from the brakes, it happened all the way home, and as said, you have to learn to employ a pre-emptive braking process when following a car on a motorway.

Put in a call to Porsche technical when i got home, as i was pretty horrified as to how bad they were, and would hate the thought of the wife driving in those conditions.

Standard reply though 'drive accordingly in heavy rain'

NEVER an issue in the rain. After washing the car, yes.

Definitely a delay when hitting the brakes after driving in heavy rain at highway speeds.

this was also discussed at lenght on 6speed. Thankfully I was warned about it before it happened to me the first time. still scared the crap out of me the 1st time I went to hit the brakes after going several miles in heavy rain.
