Default Brake Issue

Okay so it's getting pretty bad so I need to figure out what I need to do....My brakes are normally fine. The grip well and I can stop great for stock brakes. My problem is that if it has been raining all day long and I go get in my car the brakes are HORRID... the pedal is really really stiff and if I press it all the way down it brakes like I'm barely touching it. It does go away a lil after a while but its still pretty bad. Also it's not rain getting on my brakes because if I'm driving and it hasnt rained all day then my brakes are fine.

might be water getting into your brake lines...try a caliper rebuild and some new lines (plus pads and rotors obviously)

my rotors and pads are fairly new. i was told maybe i'm getting moisture into my pistons in my calipers. I wanted to get more opinions here tho. How much/how hard is a caliper rebuild and do you suggest braided steel brake lines? Most likely I'll just deal with it till summer and either go c5 brakes or ls1 brakes
