what brake pads can i get since i dont have the Brake Pad Wear sensors because the PO cut them out?< doesnt really bother me that they did this though, since they arent really necessary to me

I mean, your car is still gonna stop...

yeah, but im just saying that becuase this way pads WITHOUT sensors are cheaper than those w/ sensors thats why i was wondering since every time i enter my car into an autoparts website it brings up pads with the sensors none without

Did the PO cut the sensor wires from the pads and leave the connector or did they cut the connector off too?

On a budget &amp; don't need sensors.

When I get some more time, I'll Email you about the alarm update.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autozone.com/R,APP1132351/vehicleId,1931001/initialAction,partProductDetail/store,2747/partType,01233/shopping/partProductDetail.htm">http://www.autozone.com/R,APP1132351/vehicleId,1931001/initialAction,partProductDetail/s

thats all my shop uses on Audi.

Pagid - Great all around pad for use, average life, high dust due to carbon filler.

PBR Metalmaster - Decent pad, squeals some, also very poor in cold weather. It's an old design that works well. Also these can be hard on rotors compared to organic pads etc.

PBR Ceramic - Newer alternative to the metalmaster. Squeals some during break in, but has good cold weather grip and low dust. These are the best I have used thus far.

PBR Organic - Very quiet, good in cold, low visibility of dust but they wear quickly. Also due to their fast wearing they are easy on rotors.
