    I know your problem Dave. Your MINI should have had 4 calipers not 3. :D

    I thought about purchasing the Akebono pads, but was wondering what you do with the brake sensor since I'm guessing these pads don't have the OEM configuration. How do you keep that silly dash light from having a fit? Thanks.

    The sensor only displays once it has been worn thru. If it is still working you simply zip tie it out of the way.

    Yup this ^^^ One less "one and done" MINI part to buy.

    If the sensor every fails and you don't like the silly sensors just cut it off strip back the two wires in it and connect them together and tape them up zip tie them off to the side. :Thumbsup:
