I was just coming in the house to change my estimate! I looked at my front pads and could tell there was a good 10mm on them.

I'd say what you want to do is go out and measure your remaining pad depth (given that the dealer is charging insane prices, who knows if they lie as well) and if you do have only 4mm left, buy new pads online - you'll have plenty of change from $500 even if you buy Porsche pads.

If the car has only 25k on it, the rotors should have plenty of thickness left (but plan on replacing rotors every two pad changes). Don't worry, changing rotors isn't hard or expensive either.
