Thanks for that link. Do you just forget about the wear sensors then?
These work with them and should not interfere with them at all. They are an O.E.M. fit. and reuse the existing sensors. No need to replace them unless yours go bad.
The color of the box/packaging is not important as long as you get the semi-metallic ones for street application. I think the old packaging came in red box. Hence, everyone called it the "red box mintex". EBC and other main brands are good too. There is no need to replace the wear sensor unless your brake light sensor has come on. You may also want to get new shims but you can use the old ones if you like but again you may have to superglue the old shims to the new pads and use a mallet to flatten the old shims.
Yes, the Mintex (semi-metallic) pads I got come with holes for the wear sensor. I heard some racing pads don't come with those sensor holes. You should be fine.
I bought these Mintex pads off ebay 2 years ago. Never was able to figure out what this "red box" thing meant. Dont know if these are the red box pads. Anyway, they did not have the holes for the sensors so I drilled them.
Hey Toolpants,
Yup--did the same thing....drilled those holes. IMHO, for the price, they have been decent pads for me so far. BTW, do you still use the Mintex brand or have you found something else that works better for you??
