when to change brakes

[Araf]

i wouldn't go down to the minimum before you change though. a good rule of thumb is to add on 1mm / 2mm on top of the official figure for vented discs and 1mm for the rear single solid type discs,

Sorry to resurrect an old topic, but I was searching for information.

The only problem with your above rule is that the front discs only have 2.2mm of disc before they are at minimum thickness from new, and the rears only have 1mm between new and minimum thickness.



edit: But then I realised you were talking about the pads, and not the discs - sorry
