Hi,

Ditto on the OEM pads, they're pretty tough to beat, especially for the price. If you are good with a wrench and screwdriver, swapping the Pads and Flushing the Brakes should pose no problem for you at all. Make sure you have a power bleeder (the Motive is probably the best to use) and follow the simple directions. Also, if you don't have one, buy a cheap Vernier Caliper to check the Rotor thickness to be sure these are within spec. A Plastic Vernier Caliper can be had at any Loews, Menards, etc, for under $5 (Stanley makes one I believe) and is sufficient to do the job.

So far as the Wear Sensors, these are merely wires which wear through and are a simple Plug & Play. They are cheap and you'll only need to replace the one(s) which have worn through and your CEL will go off. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
