hrm. Just done pads on ours...
the ones coming off had 3mm+ on the thinnest, up tot about 5mm on the
fattest, and appeared fine.
Still, new ones on it now. Lockheed/Delphi. The ones that came off were
Mintex, but I doubt this has much to do with the brake hassle mentioned
elsewhere. Maybe it does, I dunno.
with new unbedded-in pads on, it felt exactly like the old ones did on
occasions when they weren't working right. New ones, even with only about
30 miles on 'em, seem better so far.
