Brake Wear Sensor?

[marvin]

Hi all,

Just a quick qestion. I am about to order a set of front pads and rotors for the ISF and wanted to know if I will also need to order a brake wear sensor? Last time I had my pads & rotors done by lexus of brisbane, I didn't see anything about a sensor on the invoice but I thought it would be worth checking before ordering the set.

Thanks plenty!

Yeah I just found a DIY brake pad swap on club Lexus. Basically had nothing to do with a brake wear sensor. Clean the shims and bobs your uncle.

lol yeah shims are act as brake wear indicators

when they are too low they start squealing

this set is pretty much universal with alot of other cars
