Brake Wear Sensors

[machster]

Does anyone know of a way to bypass the use of the wear sensors. Buying $60.00 worth of sensors everytime I replace pads is getting old. Can I connect the wires together coming out of the connector to make a complete circuit?

Most folks on race tracks zip tie the intact connector up/out of the way.

Or, you could replace your brake pads before they wear down the wear sensors. You'll just have to be meticulous on checking brake wear so you can catch them before the sensors are worn through. :)

Right. This is what I see the track rat friends of mine do.

Machster, how often are you changing pads? Are you tracking? If you're tracking or AutoX-ing, maybe you need a better (long lasting) pad, like a Pagid, for example.

Heck, after +53,000 miles on the 2006 987S I still have the original pads. But I don't track. And I drive 200 hightway miles to carve out 100 miles of country roads on the weekends. So, I'm pretty easy on my gear.
