What metric do you use to estimate remaining brake pad life on a typical economy sedan?

Another factor is riveted vs. bonded linings, you can run a bonded lining a lot thinner than a riveted one. 5mm might be thiiiiiis close to grinding the rivet heads. That's a good point I hadn't remembered as I haven't seen riveted pads for a long time, although I do remember them from the past. They would groove a rotor in no time. What I'm seeking is how long do YOU get on a set of front pads? |

From that, I can conclude you don't use you car as a taxi in NYC or Chicago. |
