When I had it in to a local garage for some muffler work I couldn’t do myself, they told me to replace the rear pads.

So I did. I used Brembo P78014N (113-2600-2) following the prescribed procedure.

Statistics and details:

  • Odometer reading: 261249 km
  • Left pad thickness: 2.7 mm
  • Left rotor thickness: 10.93 mm
  • Right pad thickness: 4.27 mm
  • Right rotor thickness: 10.39 mm
  • Brake pad thickness limit: 1.5 mm
  • Rotor thickness limit: 8.5 mm
  • New pad thickness: 7.2 mm

It doesn’t seem to have been as urgent as all that; and if I did the measurements correctly, the left pads seem to wear more quickly. I should keep an eye on this in case it indicates a caliper problem.
