Just an FYI - In preparation for an HPDE at Mid Ohio this weekend I realized my front pads were pretty low so I tossed in a new set. Obviously with a fixed caliper the pads are easy in and out - what I had a bit of a struggle with was the sensors. First, they plug in behind the wheel well liner and are difficult to access for a bigger guy. Second (and the main reason for this post) is that there is a driver and passenger specific sensor. After finally figuring out how to remove the old sensor I put everything back together and realized the sensor I installed was too long and was on the wrong side…..never even crossed my mind they’d be different. Visually the end of the sensor that goes into the pad is a bit longer for the passenger side - driver sensor clips to top of brake pad, passenger clips into the BOTTOM.
TLDR; the brake wear sensors are not the same from driver to passenger sides. Pic 1 is of the driver side, pic 2 is passenger
