2mm! Good grief, you should have replaced them 2 months ago!

No problem, 2mm is fine. Wait til the brake wear indicator light comes on and stays on.

Default 2mm left on front brake pads means...

So I bought a floor jack, 3 ton jack stands and a four-way tire iron this weekend. Jacked the old girl up and took off her wheels to inspect the front pads. I have about 2 mm of pad remaining. Was just wondering how long to wait before replacing the pads. Since I've a 99.5, it's my understanding that I've got the electronic brake wear indicators.

Wait until you hear metal on metal, then get new pads and rotors. That's what I do.
