Anyone know how much depth will be left on the brake pads when the warning comes on? And presumably fronts?
 
Turns out . . . plenty, but difficult to know when to actually get them done - front sensor:

Rear sensor:

I've gone a few k miles after the first warning from the sensor ... depends how heavy you are and how you drive, as to much run time you have left on a pad set.

Also depends how lipped your disc is. (If it's lipped bad you will get grinding before the friction material is fully done)

But as soon as you start to get a grinding noise under breaking....... then it's time stop and get them done immediately.
 
Yeah, I did think there was grinding and you can see the discs lipping from those pads, so probably for the best
