I have a standard 2006 VRS. How can I tell if I need the pads with sensor or not (does it even matter if I get the ones without) - not near car so can't go and look!

Pads should come with sensor cable attached to two in the box as it will share pads with another car. Don't think mk1 Fabia has the warning in which case you just chop the cable off.

Thanks, it's just I seen the pads from supplier with and without cables so seems safe enough to buy just the basic sensorless pads

Yeah sensorless pads will be fine, my vrs  (2005) didn’t have them.

 

What retro says is correct the pads will fit other cars that have sensors along with the same brakes. Just cut them off of you if don’t need them.
