Default Brake Pads

Fearing my stock pads were near their end, I purchased a set of Carbon Lorraine's from STG.

After recieving them yesterday, I took off my calipur to switch out the pads. Only to find out, I have MORE pad on my OEM origional then I do on the Aftermarket C/L pads. I suppose my origional pads have a bit more life in them then I was giving them credit for.

On the original you are ok unless you have 1mm of pad left.Then you have to change them.If you have the C59 or C55 etc they do not have a lot of pad anyway.
