Some of the replacement pads can be found with a sensor, I think Ferodo and Bosch, I'm not familiar withe those pad compounds.
The Textar compound is not ideal for the Pantera especially with modern tires. You wanted to improve the braking so picking a compound may be more important than the sensor IMO. Are you really going to drive the Pantera 30K miles without checking pad wear?
