just how low can i take a brake pad?
as i can't see any wear indicator?
wondering how low is safe as i've been told i need to change them and am in the process of doing so, but how much pad in mm away from the metal mounting plate can i take it down to?
on 4 pot my99 turbo.

ah, best get them done pronto then
probably around the 3mm mark and yep they are a bit crap!!
there's no likelyhood of hitting any metal fixings is there? (not sure how the pad is fixed to the plate)
cheers for the swift replies guys
