14 GTS Brake Pad Depth Replacement

[Stealth]

Does anyone know the OEM GTS Brake Pad depth front and rear in millimeters?

In addition, at what depth are you replacing your pads for non-track use? I believe I have 6mil on the front left and 5 mil on the rear left.

Thanks for your consideration!

Since non-track use, how many miles? thanks, Greg

i mostly track mine but in general i change them when the material is about same thickness as backing plate. u can probably get more out if street only but when material is much thinner heavy braking passes a lot of heat to caliper and fluid.

FMSI#7684

Total thickness: 17.3mm, Steel back plate: 5mm. Lining (friction material): 12.3mm

We recommend replacement when the lining is ~4/5mm, or 9/10mm total with steel backing plate.

This pad is same as GTR's rear where our XT910 is a very popular compound for street - Low dust, no squeaking, good fiction and modulation.

Do you guys have a low-dust pad for the TA as well? Something with good bite for the street? I think ill save the TA pads for the track.

Yes, this will be our PD1001 which is the same pad as used in Mitsubishi EVO 8/9/10, CamaroSS, Tesla and couple of others, where our pads are the most popular in EVO community mostly sold through South Coast Mitsubishi in Costa Mesa (The largest EVO dealer in the nation).

Compound are the same characteristics as above for GTS except in different shape.

PD1165 is the same as PD1001 except it has a wear sensor connector (used for European cars, ZR1 rear and Viper CCB rear)
