[s-cars] Brake upgrade?

[Robert Myers]

Hi Y'all,

Today, while driving through rather heavy rain and equally heavy road 
spray, I found myself unpleasantly surprised a couple of times by applying 
the brakes and finding them to have rather limited initial effect until the 
pads/rotors got dried off a bit.  The reason for the problem is quite clear 
and no significant problem was present due to my not pushing too hard for 
the conditions present.  However, the experience was still a bit disconcerting.

My question: would a brake upgrade to something like BIRA system 1 or 
system 3 solve the wet brakes problem?  Is there a pad material which would 
minimize this behavior under very wet conditions while still giving 
satisfactory dry weather braking with minimal dust?
