Hi everyone,
Any recommendations on brake pad sensors? They vary so much in price it's hard to tell what to buy.
Thx

I get mine from our host, Pelican!

Don't bother with them.
Tie them back or if one had activated, cut the sensor off and twist the wires together

Pads are easy to check through the wheels

As Jay said, you really don't need them but I know a lot of folks like keeping their Porsche just like the factory built it, so if that is that case, then buy the cheapest. There is nothing unique or high-tech about about a wire molded into a plastic wear nub.

URO Parts brand are <$4 on Rock Auto (plus shipping but they are usually very good, if getting 4 this would be the deal, also check out the Centric caliper hardware kits) and about $8 on Amazon Prime if you just need one quickly.
