I'm going to replace my front rotors and pads next week (78K miles). I was going to replace my rear pads also (same mileage). What should the rear thickness be before they need to be replaced? I know the fronts take most of the use and abuse.

Thanks for your thoughts and input.

    I was looking to get the thickness for the rotor instead of the pads.

    3mm. But the last time I replaced my rear pads they were about 5-6mm. They had been on there for many years and I just got tired of waiting for them to wear out.

    New pads are about 10mm give or take,this is pad thickness,not the metal backing.If the rears are more than half,I usually replace them.
