brake pad sensor
 

Hi;
any one can tell me, if I need to change the brake pad sensor while I put the new pads on? or, I can just used old one should be ok?

Thank you

If your brake light is on then you will have to change out the sensors,if not you can keep your current ones.

If your brake light came on the dash board, you will need to replace it. Save yourself some work.

I didn't know that. Good to know though as I think mine are well on there way anyway. Guess I might be doing a brake job this weekend lol

I feel if the job is worth doing then do it right. Replace the pad sensors. They're not that expensive and easy to do. You'll feel better afterwards.

thanks for the information.
also. is it always go with the factory pads or I can try some aftermarket pads.
maybe the after market pads even better?
where to buy? how much around for factory and aftermarket?

Aftermarket pads may or may not have the ability to install the sensor.

To me the best sensor is taking a moment when checking tire pressures and peering inside the rim to actuall SEE how much brake pad is in there.

Factory pads offer a great compromise- noise, dust, and performance. Aftermaket pads can be geared towards more performance, at a cost of noise/dust.

I just change my pads on the weekend. easiest brake job I ever done. One single pin. all you need and long nose pliers and screw driver. Hardest part is putting the wheel back on. I got my parts at Pelicanparts.com

thanks again guys.
I'm wondering, what's the brand of the Porsche factory part?
my friend paid $180 for the factory part for his 2002 911.

Brake Sensors
 

EVERYTIME I GO ON THE TRACK MY BRAKE WEAR LIGHT COMES ON EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NEW PADS.I CHEKED AND MY BRAKE SENSOR MELTED ,IS THAT NORMAL.

Nope that's not normal. Were they attached correct in the brake pads?
