Rockauto parts brakepAds

I got front brakepads from rockauto and wondering is this sold in pairs or do i need to get new ones?

I dont wanna get to my mechanic and see im missing a brake pad . Was told front pads usually sold in pairs. Sensors are not so ended up getting another sensor to delay the process.

Yes i was but confused on brake pads cause riding bicycles for so long i see each side has like pads (like two for each tire) but seems its just two pads and two additonal parts. Sorry if not making sense but gues i can take it too mechcanic to get it switched . Rotors were fine

Don’t try comparing bicycles with cars, they have half as many wheels!
