   Alright folks
   
   Just received my new brembo brake discs and pads from kam racing.
   Just wondering, i bought the front pads with a wear indicator assuming it was just a notch in the pad... however, it looks to be an electrical indicater as it has a cable and a connector or the end... is there anywhere to plug this on a saxo vtr (52) reg, or should i just chop it off?
   
   Cheers

   No where to plug it in! Pretty much all pads now have a groove in the middle but that's to stop dirt and water etc getting trapped between the pad and disc!
   The pads will squeal when they're really low or just check them regularly
