    don't rely on wear sensors on brakes pads

    the right hand side pads where worn to the metal, so much for the warning from the sensor wire on the left, seems the right wore more than the left

    Interested to see if the rears are doing any work. And how do they proportion front to rear. Is it air bag sensitive. ? May have to hit the picks on a gravel road .see if the rear is doing any work.

    the rears are working, its just the Brembos were so soft, the alloys are black after a few days after cleaning, hence switched to delphis.

    I can't see a pad wear sensor in either pad.

    Would you take a pic of a pair of new pads?
