The other reason for this issue may be lack of leg strength.
I'm sure there is a small percentage if people who may be to feeble to apply sufficient pressure. Luckly my children and missus seem to be fine with the PP brakes on my 86.

Salt would work better, unless they are composite and contain slugs.

I've noticed the loss of braking you are talking about. It happens when driving for an uninterrupted extended period (10~20min) in heavy rain at relatively high speeds. The lack of braking feels like the first time you apply brakes that are sintered metal pads on a cold morning. Which led to my hypothesis that what's going on is the extended exposure to the water is cooling off the rotor and pads. Also, things might be getting so cool that water is not boiling off which might be alliwing a thin film of water on the rotor to act as a lubricant. As such, i think slotted or drllied rotors would make the problem worse... So, the solution t thought of (but never tried, see below) is to try installing a pair of brake dust shields. They should reduce the amount of water getting to the brakes. I never tried it because I live in SoCal where we rarely get heavy rain for more than a few days... per year. Until this year. So, it never seemed worthwhile to install the shields for such a short time. But as I said above, the loss of braking on the FRS is not as bad as it is on my NB Miata. On my Miata, I would have no brakes for about 5~10 car lengths @ 65MPH. So I got in the habit on stomping on my brakes (after checking my rear view mirrors, of course) every 15minutes or so. Also, the issue was most common with cars that had the open, thin-spoked wheels such as the factory 5-spokes or, in the case of my Miata, Volk TE37s. Another factor that leads me to believe the rotors are getting too cool in heavy rains... |

I have cross drilled and slotted rotors too. They are even anodized gold.
