For you guys running the EBC Red Stuff pads I was reading some online feedback and there were some complaints about noise and the lack of a mounting spot for the OEM wear sensor. Have you had these issues ? I will look into the Mintex. Thanks guys

They have the hole for the brake sensor. A bit of squeal is normal until the pad is bedded in around 100 miles. After that, perfectly quiet.

I've had EBC red and they run fairly well. I have not had a problem with the EBC at all with the sensor holes they fit and align as well as the OE pads do and with less dust in the red pads.
