Wet A4 brakes

After a short, scary stab at the pedal, they work fine. Commuting
in traffic in Seattle, I've done many sudden stops in the wet,
and have simply gotten used to pushing a little harder on the
brakes when the road is wet. But that first few feet might make
the difference! So it would please me greatly if any aftermarket
pad fixed this. (Heck, I'd even put up with more brake pad
dust, if such a thing were possible.)

Actually it will be less, a_lot_less, if you go with Axxis
(a.k.a. PBR, a.k.a. Repco in the past) Deluxe. They are good in
the rain, have a reasonably good clamping power around town,
although tend to fade under heavy braking. On a track they won't
last even a day.

BTW, that little amount of dust that they do emit is white and
becomes visible only if you haven't washed your rims for 2-3 mos.
