I believe the Carbotech 1521 Bobcats do.

today I believe you'll be hard pressed to find pads for a GEN1 that DON'T work with the sensor. I picked up Duralast pads at autozone and they had the slots.

When the first aftermarket pads came out they were based on the 02 and the 02 didn't have the BRAKE sensor. But every year since does....

I know EBC has the slots. I use Greens on the 7, and did on the 02 'til getting ready to sell.

Some track pads may not have the sensor slot unless you ask for them specifically. Other than that, almost everything else would have them. EBC greens, reds and yellows all have them.

The ones I got for my R56 directly from Carbotech do not have the slots. When I ordered them on the phone, they did not ask me about sensors.
I had to tape up the sensors and zip tie them out of the way.

All of the Bobcat 1521 Carbotech pads ordered from www.buycarbotechpads.com come ready for the sensors. But it can be easy to miss because all the backing plates have the slot, but only ONE of the front and rear pads have been cut to allow the sensor to fit as OEM design.

I'll have to pull mine back off this weekend and look a them very closely, but I sure didn't detect it when I was installing. I hope you're right, as I just had to replace the rear one.
