Default C8 Corvette Brake sensor delete

After putting an AP kit on my C8, I was tired of the brake pad sensor warning all the time. I came across a brake pad sensor delete kit from 89x Motorsports, and so far it has worked awesome! It was a simple plug and play kit and the warning light went away. I figured I might share incase any of you were experiencing the same issues.

I found them here: https://89xparts.com/collections/pop...ensor-emulator

Heres a pic of it installed on my car.

You can just cut the wire and put a connector on it as well; that's what I've been doing for my C7 Z07 and C8 Z07 : )

Worked flawlessly for me as well, just cut wires and connect them together. Free solution.

Dang,
Well thank you for letting me know! I just enjoyed the ease of plug n play.

Wish they would come up with something like this to eliminate the parking brakes.

I believe a few people are actively working on a solution. If I hear anything, I will definitely say something.

How low are you letting these pads get? I replace my ferodo ds3.12 pads once it’s lower than the thickness of the backing plate. The lower the pad gets the hotter the fluid gets although I use Castrol SRF it likely never be a concern just not something I’d like to find out.

As an example, I threw out the pads that had about 4-5mm range left. Yea… maybe could have lasted a day at Road Atlanta but I rather spend the evening chilling and not working on the car for day 2.

You could always save them for back ups but there's nothing wrong with what you are doing. I typically do something similar.
