Default EBC Brake Pad Wear Sensor Question

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/27474/ebc_2.jpg"></center><p>
<img src="http://home.comcast.net/~tzabransky/wsb/media/238231/site1150.jpg"> Thought I'd give the Yellowstuff a try for an upcoming track event. I ordered the DP41517R front pads based on previous AW posts saying they would fit and I received them today. I was not even expecting for them to have wear sensors but when I opened them up 1 pair (inside pad) had the wear sensor and the other pair's pad did not. (Only 1 wear sensor for both pairs of front pads)

Do VWs only have one wear sensor or is this set missing a sensor for the other side? My B6 A4 had them on both sides does the A3 only have 1 sensor? It says on box they fit 2005 and up Golf/Jetta 1.8T and 2.5, GTI 1.8T and 2.8 and shows a wear sensor on the box label.

Thanks for any info/advice

Just got word from Perfect Brakes that EBC installs 1 sensor on race pad sets
