ABS/Wheel speed sensors different brands

so I already have 2 with me and another 2 is shipping but it's taking too long.

I was thinking of getting the other 2 locally but the brands will be different.

so it will be two different brands for both side as the ones I got are 1 front and 1 back.

my question is will it be ok to run different brands?

Should be no problem. Basically they just transmit am electrical signal that lets the module count "ridges" om the hubs by electromagnetically creating a sine wave, very simple technology. The more complex stuff is in the module itself that you are connecting the sensor to. Any brand should work, some just last longer than others.

I forgot to mention that the ones I have and ordered are all from china but apparantly they are Korean? because it says on the label " korean technology " and there's writing in Korean lol.

Item does look decent in terms of the build. I had bought one 2 years ago for my F20, it was oem by a certified reseller and item was made in europe ( forgot where ) and that one did not look all too amazing too.

do you think these china ones will do any harm?

Parts from China are like parts from anywhere else, some are good and some are not. As far as parts that are marked being from Europe, maybe they are and maybe they are not.
