Anyone know the rear pads thickness service limit on 182?

[3doorpete]

Had the wheels off the car for some extra anal detailing and noticed that the rear pads look lacking in meat.

Does anyone know in millimetres the service limit for standard rear pads on a 182 before they need changing?

Many thanks in advance. :star:

i *think* they begin life with about 7-8mm and, personally, would continue using them until they were 2-3mm

most pads you have to change if any lower than 3mm

including backing plate 6mm i belive

They've very skinny as new and they take ages to wear down to change levels as they do hardly any braking, talking probably 80k+ before you'd need to think about changing them in normal use. Seem to remember MarkCup's lasted towards the 100k mark.

i replaced the rears about two weeks ago on my 46k '52 - they needed doing anyway but were primarily replaced as the friction lining had lifted from the backing plate due to corrosion - presumably the original pads

they're only £12 from the likes of ECP/GSF

my 02 plate needs a set done 41k

I've got some hardly used EBC and standard rear pads for sale.

yup, they're approx half the thickness of front pads when new

Thanks all. I think they are ok then (about 5mm without backing) - just look really weedy and like there is no much meat on them.

Great link for the brake info as well.

Cheers
