What's the rule of thumb re the mm level at which we sould replace the brake pads on our GTs ? Looks like I have about 5 mm left, on the front pads and the same on the rear pads ( weird, I've never seen even wear on rear vs front, in my experience it's almost a 2:1 ratio ) Anyway, at the service and checkup just about ten months and 10 k miles ago , the pads were measured and they had 8 mm left on them. Assuming the same driving m.o., which in my case is 90 % highway, and compared to a 3 mm use in 10 K miles , I should be able to go at least another 10 k miles before they need to be replaced, when they get down to about 2mm, right ..? Or is 5 mm a threshold when you should really replace them no matter what ?
The rotors look to be in gear shape, no lip, no groves of any kind, just light traces on their exterior surface .
