Default Brake pads . . .

Cant find brake pads without the pad wear sensor in local stores. The pads I removed didnt have the sensor, and I am wondering if I could just cut the sensor off and go with the that? The pads are identical other than the sensor. 98.5 1.8TQTip
TIA

you can either cut off the wires, or just ziptie them up out of the way.

I just cut them off flush with the pad.

Default Problem solved . .

Sensor was able to be removed instead of cutting or ziptie. Thanks
