DIY Front Brake Question
For those of you who did your front brake pad service. Did the brake pads you bought come pre-drilled for the brake sensor? I purchased some oem front brake pads from MB dealer and noticed the pads did not come pre-drilled for the brake sensor. I gave them my vin number to make sure I get the proper pads. That's why I was wondering if they come predrilled. So i had to drill a hole through the side of the pad in order to accomodate the brake sensor. So far no problems. Thanks!!

If they are MB star marked.
Yes, they should have come ready for the sensor.

I replaced mine with Autozone ceramic pads and they were pre-drilled.
