Ordered front HPS pads with sensors. There are 4 pads (out of 8) with sensors built into them...

I'm not sure why 4 pads have sensor wires?
I can just trim the extra sensor wires off the pads I don't need them on, correct? There's just 1 sensor hookup per wheel?
Thanks...

Correct - actually you don't "need" the sensors as the warning signal does not get fed to the ECU
its a total idiot light. IIRC, sensor normally is on the lower (leading, when moving forwards) inner pad. My outer pads wore out before the inner ones, but at least you can visually inspect the outer pads easily enough.

Pads came from TireRack... not sure there's a "deal" there, but they are easy to deal with and I
have never had issues with them.
Hawk HPS pads all around with Zimmerman rotors up front and stockers on the rear. Got the rotors from PureMS. Gonna try to get everything on tomorrow afternoon.
