Why do my brakes suck in the rain?
Ever since I've had my HP2's and the Powerslot slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads up front I've been happy with my improved braking over oem but when it rains the stopping performance is greatly diminished to the point where I get worried I'm not going to stop on time. I feel like I really have to stomp on the pedal to come to a stop and I don't think it's normal especially since I didn't experience that with oem braking. Other factors: Motul RBF 600 was changed back in Sept., should I change it again, maybe give it a whole bleed all around?

Yes 321mm S4 rotors, the HP2 caliper is huge and wide.
A 16" wheel can clear but the problem lies in the width of the caliper itself. In most cases spacers may be required but basically go on Tirerack.com choose a 2001 S4 as a car and then you can see what wheels fit and which don't that way you can get an idea.
