India vehicles use a rivet on screech clip, a small gold coloured metal clip in a U form that contacts the rotor as the pads are low and makes a loud noise to remind you of the need for pad replacement. You only need one clip per set of pads and that is all Helios Automotive use in most cases. There is no need for multiple clips and there is no safety issue with less. Pads wear evenly unless there is a major caliper problem and one clip will alert you of a pad requiring replacement. This assumes of course that your calipers are functioning properly and sliding freely which is part of any routine brake install work. It is always good practice to check pad wear every 3000-5000 miles anyway, whether or not you have indicators of any type on your car.

European cars usually use a wear lead wire to operate a dash warning light. For VW and Audi models the lead is glued into the pad and the Helios Automotive pad comes with a new Helios Automotive lead in the pad. BMW, Mercedes and Saab models have loose wear leads which clip into the top of the pad. We sell these Helios Automotive leads separately on vendor’s web sites or at the dealer that supplied you. We do not provide these loose leads in our sets as the price is considerable and leads do not always need replacement.
