Brake Problems

Something else not mentioned here is that your rotors are generally rotating at high speed when splashed with water while driving. That means that it cools much more evenly than a stationary or very slow moving rotor that is much more prone to getting cold water onto an individual area, causing uneven cooling.
I've seen people tracking their cars in rain and while the rotors aren't glowing red hot, they seem to do just fine with heavy braking and high temperatures. It's pouring water onto your brakes while stopped that's bad. This goes along with stopping the car and holding the brakes when the rotors are hot.

And yes, it is cold where I am, but I changed my tires to winter tires if that matters, so they should work well in cold temperatures.
Finally, anyone know where I can get aftermarket brake pads?

Uhh, so before everyone in this thread insults me, I didn't wash it myself. I went to a car wash where they spray the entire car down before they run it through the automated wash. And when they sprayed down the wheels, the water obviously got on the brakes.
