Yesterday the Boston area got doused with some serious rain in a short amount of time. (conveniently approx 5:30pm). On the drive home from work, I had to drive through some high water that came up to the floor on my '02 Coupe SE (stock suspension).

After getting through the water, I noticed that my brakes were totally and completely soaked. Is there a proper method of drying them out? Should i worry about water getting trapped in the rear drums?

A few years ago I went through what looked like a small puddle too fast and ended up flooding and stalling the engine of my 91 Camry. After getting the engine dried out and a tune-up done, it worked fine.
I was thinking about lowering my Accord 1-1.5 inches.. but yesterday's rain may be a significant deterrent since I had water get so close to the body of the car.

Thoughts?

 

your brakes get soaked every time rains, just use the brakes and it will dry them up. just like after you wash your car.

 

I've had *wet* brakes before, but never where they were soaked like this. Maybe I'm having a tough time letting go that my baby is growing out of the initial year.

 

the brakes will be fine
