I took the car apart, down to the bare chassis over 5 years ago removing every wire harness in the car and rebuilding many of them. Most of the other wire harnesses I’ve been able to route properly but i can’t for the life of me remember the routing of the pad sensor main harness. Does anyone have photos or routing info of those harnesses. Pictures of 5+ years ago and now for attention.

Wow, that's a great transformation! Car looks awesome! You can see a few pics in the 3D-Printed harness grommet thread here:

viewtopic.php?t=2352

I'm sure I took more pictures when I made that part, so will look for more and post anything helpful.

Thanks for the reply Tom, I have the larger wire harnesses with the big brittle white/yellow blocks that plug into the main chassis harness that I’m looking to figure out the routing for. I know where they mount in the rear, I’m looking more for the front, and i know the black holders mounted up near the diag port and the cruise control motor.

I have the KW's, but the factory struts have the same clip in the same location.... These are the best shots I have, front and back for posterity. This help?

Pad sensors?

What I did was strip the pad sensor wiring and then twist the wires together.

I was looking more about the routing of the wiring up in the engine bay down to the wheels, i ended up creating jumpers at that location and wont have the pad wear sensors. With the wheels i have on the car, i can easily see pad thickness so I’m not too worried about it.
