Brake pad service limits

I know there must be a thread on this, but have not been able to find it. And, I am dismayed that the online service manual is a little light on specifications!

What is the min thickness of front and rear brake pads? While I'm at it, how about min thickness of the 2 rotors, also?

Thanks.

It's not quite that technical

As long as there's still pad showing, in my book they are still serviceable :wink:

The rotor will probably say the "Min thickness".

And ya, if there is pad and they aren't groved up to bad go with them. I find I cook them before they wear out.

This is for an E series

Thanks for the responses

I'll just check the rotor and probably keep what I have - I'm slow enough now I can just drag my feet.
