Wow, my assumption might have been right but ...my spelling. Can anyone tell I had to get right back to work? Thanks to everyone for the assist, I truly value the traded knowledge. As far as the sensors go, it's not the cost I was trying to avoid, I wanted to keep all my pad options open for research. I don't track the car but I do occasionally exercise it. The car has never seen snow I have heard with careful removal said sensors can be re used, being clean and not near replacement time they may snap right out.. I have a sweet shop, equipped from my dad's former machine shop. I'll be lighting a Tonran`o and my propane heater in January and having a look.

Take it too the track! Its much more fun than being "stupid" on the street. It will also open your eyes to your cars true potential. Lots of fun tracks relatively close too - Lime Rock, Pocono, watkins Glen, and coming to South Jersey - Thunderbolt!

And yes, if you are swapping out pads frequently, you will come to lean to check your eyes assesment of pad life vs the sensor. Not installing the sensors on the new pads does NOT trigger any interior warning lights.
