Default C5 brake pad thickness
Getting ready for a HPDE at Putnam Park. Checked my Hawk HP+ brake pad thickness on as .31" (actual wear material thickness). Does anyone know what the new pad thickness is?

I agree ... Much thicker and they would not fit with fully compressed caliper and new rotor .....

Fronts are .575" thick, this includes the backing plate.

Rears are .650"
