I just had my car service from dealer and it pass with flying color, except the PCCB pads wear measurement seem lower than expected. My front is 5 mm and rear 7 mm pads remaining, question is "is it time to change out the front pads? my rotors are in perfect condition at this time. The rule of thump in this forum is change out the pads at 50% wear, is it true new pads are about 13 mm? if so, my front need to replace and the rear is borderline at this time. Please chime in if you've change your pads lately, also where is the best place to buy OEM pads with the lowest price? thanks in advance everyone.

 

anyone tossing pads prematurely is just tossing money.

I imagine you don't do any track driving in honolulu. Id keep them on for a while longer.

 

I don't track my car, but I drive it hard every so often. I have driven approx. 85K on the original pads. The rotors are virtually brand new and the pads look barely worn.
