I have one more question, do I have to replace the sensors or can the old ones be reused?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I went with the PowerStop ceramic pads. I am happy with them, very low dust, no squealing, and they stop great. Have not done a AX with them, but have done a bunch of back road spirited drives as well as 2 track days just after I installed them and was very happy with the performance
for my 04 S they were around $45 per axle
I put them on in February. No squealing at all, except during the break in period, very slight at that. All brakes do that. The quality of the rotor actually looked better then the oem rotors. There is still no rust on the rotors, they look as good as the day I put them on.
I have a full set of Zimmerman coated rotors for a base Boxster that I cannot use since I sold my car. The rears are new-in-box and the fronts have one full track weekend at Chuckwalla on them. They are heavy so shipping might be expensive but a local LA/OC guy could save some $$ and help me clean out the garage.

I have one more question, do I have to replace the sensors or can the old ones be reused? I inspected the brakes and the rotor are severely worn, they have a ridge on the edge, however the wear indicator never lit up. The only reason I checked them was because the brakes have a severe squeal when you first apply the brakes. Is this normal? The brakes still stop great except for the squeal, current mileage 41k.
Thanks
