    Hello,

    newbie here. wanted to replace my front brake pads since I got the warning on my dashboard. any recommended brands (after market). planning on grabbing Brembo which I think don't come with sensors.

    do I buy disc brake pad wear sensor OR disc break pad electronic wear sensor? not sure what's the difference and what is needed for my 2008 q7 3.6L V6

    any help is truly appreciated.

    The sensors are only separate from the pads. They are the pad wear sensors.
    Also inspect your rotors, they might need replaced as well.
