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.

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.
