On the other hand, using a thickness gage, a simple check for remaining friction material would be to have the brake pedal depressed, and use the thickness gage at each end of all the brake pads while installed. Using one thickness gage of .040” or 1mm is an easy go - no go check. If the gage slips in, brake life remains.
When you stated the EBC brake pads BajaRon sells are way better, can you explain further why? I have run the oem Brembo brake pads and did swap to the BajaRon EBC pads. Stopping wise they are similar, but for some reason, the BajaRon pads have always made a buzzing / wurring noise under braking. Mechanically everything is fine, almost as if the Brembo brake disc pattern does not play well the BajaRons EBC brake pads. Stops fine.
