Where did you read that? Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Tue, 19 Oct 2004 08:39:04 In Reply to: Why rear brake pad minimum thickness?, Eiron, Tue, 19 Oct 2004 07:45:27 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The Saab manual that I have says 1 mm on all pads as minimum.
The only reason I see to have a thicker minimum on pads is if you use riveted pad linings.
The rivets start to tear up the rotor long before the pad is gone.
Saab and Volvo doesn't use riveted pads as a standard but it might be possible to get them from some strange/cheap supplier.
