DIY under 20min Brake flush

Im getting the car ready for the track and brake flush was on the agenda for today and trying to figure out if I need to do brakes.

Here are the front and rear brakes with 1/4" and 3/8" of pad left respectively.

How thick are the pads when new?
I'm supposed to have 50% or less wear for the tech inspection.

What do you think? Do I replace them now to pass the inspection?

Front


Rear




Here is the movie of the Brake flush, my first time to show how easy it is.
5 minutes per tire or less.....nice! Pumped the Blue fluid to replace the gold colored stuff. Used about 1/2 liter of fluid.
