How to select Brake pad wear sensors ?

[jim_hoyland]

Im confused by the number of different sensors available and the price spread. 

For example: 

2006 Porsche Boxster - Brakes - Brake Pads - Brake Pad Sensors

Brake Pads for 2006 Porsche Boxster : Brake Pad Sensors

Are some better than others or is this a truly generic part ?

There are several brake options, different size rotors, etc., including ceramic rotors.

PM me your VIN and I will lookup which fit your brakes.

I have the correct replacement rotors and pad; my question is whether brake pad sensors are universal.

From both the Pelican and AutohausAZ web sites several brands are available: Serb, Sadaca, Pagid

Do all these pretty much fit ?

Thank you, good diagram. Just watch several videos on pad and rotor replacement.

Are the caliper bolts 55mm torx ?

 Maybe..................the factory bolts were 10MM hex drive, but the factory replacement bolts are T55 torx; torque spec for both is 85 Nm/ 63 ft-lb.  You should not reuse the bolts in any case.
