pagid pads and brake sensors
I replaced my stock brake pads with pagid yellow pads and removed all brake sensors as well since there were no holes to put the sensors in.
As I expected, brake sensor warning light was on.
Is there any way that I can use pagid yellow pads without both brake sensors and warning light?
And I was also wondering if it is okay to run front pagid yellow pads with rear stock pads.
I might want to replace rear pagid pads with stock pads.

find an old set of sensors and cut the end off after the plug and terminate the wires. (tie them together.
have done it on many cars.
do not run stock rears with pagid yellow fronts. You need more bias to the rear so you need a pad with equall or more torque at the back.
I run yellows in the front and black in the back.

But what do you mean by "terminate"? You mean I have to clear the code?
And do I have to do so for all the four sensors? Or I can simply plug and cut the front ones?
Btw, I appreciate your help.

Take the two wires and connect the copper part of the wires to complete the circuit. Then zap strap the wire to the suspension to keep it out of the way. Why would you run Pagid yellows on the street? I suspect that they will be swapped out for something else, the sound of the brakes will annoy you until you get some heat into this pad. It will also eat through your rotors much faster as well.

Just have an intact sensor at each wheel, and zip tie them to the suspension upright.
Don't buy them from the dealer, they are cheaper if you shop around (eBay is good $$).
If you are doing your own brake pad maintenance you don't really need the sensors to tell you when the pads need replacing do you?
