I have about a .25 inches of pad between caliper and rotor. Picture attached.[img:f622473148]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/547851_IMG_0346_1.jpg[/img:f622473148]

Hi
rule is wear down to 3/32 but for me 1/4 is time reason is reduces heat build up in rotor because pad is so thin can't disapate. Do it now sand rotors and your good wait and there maybe rotor damage. $40 lot chaper than $125 a rotor
Hope this helps
