2) They are using brake pads without the drilled area to accept the Porsche brake sensor.

If you think your due, have the pads thickness measured and make a decision this way. Waiting for the light to come on can get very expensive!


Sensors are $12.00 or so? How expensive can it get? I have never done a brake job myself. So this will be the first. I found some great stuff to help me out on renntech.org, but any other info you guys got will definitly be useful.
