brake pad question

Anyone know if wear sensors on 2007 should be towards rear of caliper or front of caliper when rotor moving forward. In other words, what does trailing position refer to?

Trailing would be on the back side of the pad as the rotor turns forward. Since the calipers are a trailing mount on the front of the car, then it would be at the top side of the pad as that would be the end of the pad as the rotor sweeps past it.

For anyone doing brakes with JL-9 or J-55 options, the wear sensors and I quote"mounted on the inboard brake pad must be positioned so that it is in the leading bottom position during forward rotation of the brake rotor" This is different than the earlier cars which were in the trailing position. Appreciate the help Anthony.
