I just looked up for my 2008. Two different suppliers, one is 16,8mm the other 17,5mm  for the front pads.

According to the manual, standard pad thickness is 11 mm and the service limit is 2 mm. :eek:

Asterix was that pads or rotors? 17mm is massive pad thickness.

Phil is on the money. But shouldnt be shocked at 2mm, even 1mm is still driveable. Just dont let them get to 0mm lol

Pads, but including the metal backplate.  :mrgreen:

He didn't ask how much of it he could wear up, just the thickness...  :whistler:
