Brake pad wear sensor type?

[jonm01]

I am looking to get a new set of pads and discs for my 07 Cayman S but there seem to be two types of pad depending on wear sensor type.. How can I determine which ones I need? I was going to buy Pagid discs and textar pads and get a local shop to fit.

I had a similar problem with my Boxster S.

Being 2003 registered, pads with pin type sensors and horsehoe shaped sensors were both listed. The only way to be sure is to take the wheel off and have a look. You may be able to see them through the wheel with a torch. Mine were pin-type.
