Help on my brakes please? Confused!

[ChrisJones]

Hiya all, my brakes need changing all round, discs and pads.
Been looking at some Pagid sets of eurocarparts but am having trouble choosing the right ones because i am not sure on the sensors etc.
I have a R redge mk3 GTI 16 V
I know the discs on the front are 288 * 25 and the rears are 226 * 10
Do my rear brake discs need the ABS sensor ring?
Do my front pads need the wear sensor?
The rear pads i have seen dont have a wear indicator?!
Hopefully some one can help me out here pretty soon.
Thanks in advance
Chris

You may or may not have wear indicators so get the ones with, cut off the wire close to the pad if you don't need it.
The old rear abs rings can be swapped over. (don't break them)

I usually swap over old ABS rings to new discs although on my current car i had issues when swapping them over as the rear discs i stuck on were obviously a slightly different diameter on the inner radius which meant the ABS rings sat very close to the ABS sensor, they were infact touching on rotation at first so had to close the gaps on the rings slightly and sand it carefully to gain the clearance required.
In this particular instance i wished id just stuck new rings on the new discs BUT this was an exceptional case I might add as they normally just slip on with a rubber mallet without hitch.

I will add that a good soak in a proprietary paraffin solution will help get them off and on, but remember to clean it off before fitting so it does not get on the pads
+1 Sometimes you need to gently close a few of the segments up to make sure they are a tight fit, I've had this on new and old rings alike.
