i just put some new pads brembo rotors and front rear sensors when it came to the back passenger side their was no cut out on the pads for the brake sensor so i just zip tied the sensor out of the way and went about my business has anyone had and issue with the hawk pads

 

I have Hawk ceramics and love'em. No issues so far. I tied off BOTH my sensors - I don't need no stinkin' consumable sensor to tell me when I need brake pads...

 

I did the same with ceramics.
I can't remember if there was a slot for the sensor, but I did not want to use it anyway. Just something else to replace.
Keep an eye on the pads and the sensor is not necessary.

 

You are right, Hawk pads have no cut-outs for them. Great pads and I don't have any trust with an idiot light when it comes to brakes, I'll check them myself.

 

My Hawk Ceramics didn't have a place for the rear sensor either. Not a problem. Love the brakes!

 

Have the Hawk ceramics and love 'em

 

Do the Ceramic Hawk pads for the front have a slot for the senor?

 

Yes the front pads of Hawk Ceramic's have a slot for the sensor. Not on the rear pads though. Just use a zip tie bundle the rear sensor out of the way.

 

What kind of sensor would you use? I know if the brake sensor light comes on, the sensor needs replacing...Will an OEM sensor from Mini work with Hawk pads?

 

Yes the factory OEM brake sensor that is on your car will work with the Hawks.

 

the oem sensor has a slot on the front drivers side pads but in my case the rear pads had no slot for the sensor so i just zip tied the sensor out of the way i have had the pads for about a week and a half their alsome

 

The ceramics have the front sensor, but not the rears.
