Default 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?
