Anyone know if the OEM, Pagid, or any brand will fit Brembo pads?

New pads arrived this morning and I now realise I forgot to get a new front wear sensor:wallbash:

The existing one hasn't worn through yet, can that be re used or do they usually break when taken out of the old pad?:dk:
 
In general, if it hasn't worn then you can re-use it. Shouldn't be that much of a pig to get out.
 
Sometimes the wear sensor wire is brittle and snaps on removal. They are cheap enough and only one on the front of my C55 so had it changed anyway. If you have standard OE pads then they should have the same slot cut to accept the sensor. Many uprated pads though won't have the slot so you will have to short the sensor. If you use the brakes hard enough then you will melt the sensor anyway which will trigger the pad light.
