What happens when the brake pads are worn out with these leads installed?

When your brake pads wear down to a specific thickness, these leads will make contact with the rotor. This contact creates a distinct squealing or grinding noise, alerting you that it's time to replace your brake pads.

Can I reuse these wear leads if I replace my brake pads?

No, wear leads are designed to be a single-use component. Once they trigger the warning sound, they are meant to be replaced along with the brake pads to ensure the warning system functions correctly for the next set of pads.

Do these wear leads come with new brake pads?

These are sold separately as wear leads only. They are intended to be installed with new brake pads to ensure your braking system is fully serviced.

Product Details

For your 2006-2010 BMW M5, these rear brake wear leads from EBC are a simple but important part of your braking system. They act as an early warning system, letting you know when your brake pads are getting thin and need replacing. This helps prevent the costly damage that can occur if your brake pads wear down completely to the metal backing plate, which can ruin your rotors.

These wear leads are designed to be a direct fit for your M5's rear brakes. When the brake pads reach a certain thickness, the wear lead makes contact with the rotor, creating a squealing noise. This audible alert gives you time to schedule a brake service before the pads are completely gone and the metal is grinding against the rotor surface. It’s a small component that can save you a lot of money and hassle down the road.
