06 wrx brake pad
Hey, I just checked my stock brake pads and there is about little less than 1/2" pads left on both fronts. Anybody knows what the stock front brake pads' thickness are? 1 inch? I am thinking of changing stock ones with hawp HPSs. but not sure if my pads now are still plenty...

1/2" of pad should get you another 10K miles of driving. Run them till you get close to metal and then replace them.
