Hmm... The places I'm looking to buy them from specifically state they don't come with sensor wires.

Default do you maintain your own vehicle (service-wise)?
if you check your brake regularly, you can cut the connector from your old pads, twist the wires together and plug it in. Zip tie it to the upright out of the way.

Everybody with big brake kits or most non-OEM pads does something similar to this.

Just check your pad wear every 6 months.

OH I have no problem with it if they don't come with the sensors, just curious before I buy in.

Which answers the question of whether or not Hawk pads have wear sensors right?
