Re: cold weather break problems

Might be the formulation of your brake pads thats making them useless at low temps. The EVO8 I had was kinda dangerous in 32degree temps as the tires and brakepads were more like blocks of wood than engineered friction devices. Which makes sense given a design goal for proper operation at high temps during agressive driving.

So if you don't know what kinds of pads are on it, might pay to start researching for some cold weather pads

Also you need to check your brake booster and its lines. Water/sealing issues can make for a hard pedal.
