I have a 2012 997.2 Turbo with Ceramic brakes. The brake pad wear alert popped up in my message center. Does anyone know or can you measure for me how thick a new stock brake pad is for front and rear in 1000's?
Thanks much in advance.

I measured actual brake pad material thickness when I did mine. I'll check my log book when I get home.

Thanks Johnny!

Hey sorry I forgot to check. I'll try and remember today when I go home.

Thank you.

Dave,

I averaged the 8 pads and they came out to ~ 10.85mm.

Thanks Johnny. I think I have a bad sensor because my warning light is on and I measured the outside pads and they're showing 9-9.5mm. I'll measure the inside today.
I appreciate your help.

No problem.

I would pull the brake pads and visually inspect them. One of the front pads I replaced, the inboard upper thickness measured ~9mm but the lower bottom measured ~4.5mm and had a copper rivet showing. The cause was a rock jammed between the caliper body and the pad.
