Good luck,
I don't know if I'd agree with that based on my (limited) rain experiences. Malcolm and I had his GT40 out at Donnington in the pouring rain for 4 hours. With his normal dry setup the car was just about undrivable in the rain - no bite and she wouldn't point. But, with the front roll bar disconnected and a soft setup it was quite drivable. No changes were made to the brakes at all and I felt the chassis setup was far more important.

The same is/was true of the Spec Miatas - we disconnected roll bars at Roebling and did just fine, no changes to the brakes were needed.
