Default 12.5% off all stock this weekend only

Car parts 4 less here in the uk have another weekend sale on....my cat is asleep till April next year but when she gets up she's gonna need new brake pads front and rear. Anybody know if the 2005MY XKR convertible has wear sensors fitted ?
Still not sure wether to stick with Brembo or try something different. Anyways there are plenty of brake pads on the CP4 Less site. Any suggestions welcome..

My 2005 XK8 4.2-S Final Series with Brembo didn't have wear sensors.

There's different Brembo calipers listed for XK8 and XKR but JEPC shows the same pads for both.

Thanks for the heads up on brake pads....i have read that Black Diamond have a set for the XKR that produce little dust and do not suffer the "squeal" problem, price however is around £250 mark.

Default brake pads

I have been using Akebono ceramic pads. No dust, no squeal. For my 99 XK8, fronts are EUR394A, rear EUR688A
