My 85SD brakes fine with stock Brembo rotors and correctly functioning calipers. I replaced hoses, took a chance on Cardone reman calipers & bought new aftermarket pads. I forgot which pads but found some that had reviews where they had actually done some testing on the track instead of listing regurgitated subjective opinions.

A bigger problem is wet handling but I attribute the tendency to break traction to the weight of the vehicle. I'll look hard at tires when these need replacing.
