Yes, the car has sensors, but they're not part of the pad - they're wired to car, and "clip" to a special notch in the pad.

Good performance, NO dust, and cheap. ($70 for the front set).
Has anyone switched to hawk performance pads ? Had them on my Acura and loved them. Any owners that can compare them to stock?

Also how much life are folks getting with stock pads?? Stock tires?
