What happens when the brake wear leads activate?

When your brake pads wear down to a critical point, these leads will make contact with the rotor. This typically creates a noticeable squealing or grinding sound, alerting you that it's time to replace your brake pads.

How do these wear leads protect my rotors?

By signaling the need for new brake pads before they are completely worn away, these leads prevent the metal backing of the pad from grinding directly against the rotor surface. This avoids scoring and potential warping of the rotor.

Are these wear leads included with new brake pads?

While some brake pad sets may include wear leads, it's common for them to be sold separately. It's always a good idea to check what's included with your brake pads to ensure you have these essential warning sensors.

Product Details

EBC is well-known for their wide range of brake components, and these rear brake wear leads are a practical addition to your BMW's braking system. These sensors are designed to alert you when your brake pads are getting low, preventing the costly damage that can occur when the pads wear down to the metal backing plate and start grinding against your rotors.

This kit is specifically made for the rear brakes on your 1993-1997 BMW 8 Series. When the brake pads reach a critical wear point, these leads will make contact and typically create a squealing or grinding noise, letting you know it's time for a new set of pads before you damage your rotors. It's a simple but effective way to protect your investment and ensure your brakes continue to perform reliably.
