Chris, Good to know. The only other time I had driven the OEM brakes in heavy rain was on an auto-x course, so of course your tapping the brakes every few seconds and there was no problems. And I have experienced it in a minor fashion with previous cars I've owned, it just seemed worse.

The AP racing install didn't require any modification to the front splash shield and only an extremely minor trim to the edge of the rear splash shield so I don't think that is a significant factor.

I know BMW touts a similar system for some of their cars, when the wipers are on it presses the pads gently against the rotors to keep them swept.
