I swapped out my front pads a few days ago after 17k miles on them. I wasn't a fan of the lackluster initial bite and found a set of EBC HH pads on Ebay for $25 for a set of 4.

After 17k miles, they were in amazing shape.... between 3.3-3.5mm of life left on them. This measurement is the entire pad thickness, nothing to do with the lines in between the pad. For reference, stock EBC HH pads were 3.94-3.96mm.

Thanks for the photo, sparky. What I had in mind was a photo which shows the pads from the rear (or the side), letting one to see the thickness, or even better the calipers from the rear with the pads still inserted but the clamp removed. This would allow me to see it all in perspective ...
