I'm looking at my Brake Pads this weekend to see if I need new ones before my Performance driving school event in mid October.

They say you need 50% wear or less.

I have no frame of reference though since I do not know how thick new pads are on the 2001 Boxster S. I assume it has OEM pads on it.

I used my fiber optic scope (harbor Freight) to take a look and it looks like at least 2 times the thickness of the backing plate.

Can anyone help me out with a measurement of new OEM pads or some way of judging the wear?
