TRW- Designs fit toothed wheels and magnetic encoder wheels

- 4 different designs to match the required specs of the customer: https://www.trwaftermarket.com/us/Import-Program/Drum-Brake-and-Actuation-Systems/ABS-Sensors/

- Contact: https://www.trwaftermarket.com/us/Contact-Us/

TLDREach company has nearly the same description of their sensors. The contact info of just a few of the many companies that offer the sensor are above.

This which lead me to believe that there is only a very slight, probably negligible, difference between each different sensor. Therefore, I believe we should contact each company and ask them which specific model would best fit our needs while simultaneously seeking sponsorships/discounts.
