Default S4 Brake Question

Does anyone know if the rear brake pads on a 2001.5 S4 have wired sensors that warn when the pads are getting low? Also, any recommendations on the best replacement pads and rotors for street use. Thanks.

Thanks. Do you know if the rear rotors can be cut, or must they be replaced?

Default technically they could be cut...

but I wouldn't recommend it. There are a lot of stock-size and larger options for rear rotors. Check out Zimmerman, DBA, ECS, STaSIS...couple of others I'm sure...
