How thick are the rear brake pads on a vectra when bought new?

I have to change offside pads coz they totally worn but the other side they are about 4.5 mm in thickness ,my friend seems to think new ones arent much thicker so no point in changing bothHow thick are the rear brake pads on a vectra when bought new?You must have a fault / sticky caliper if n/s are OK



I would always change brakes on an axle set... as they are still old and could fail ?? glue degrades on some pads and they still are subject to heat and can break away



What are you going to do with the other 1/2 set ??



Get them put in !!How thick are the rear brake pads on a vectra when bought new?As above, it doesn't matter how much pad is left on one side - obviously, you have a sticking caliper or seized handbrake cable - you MUST replace the pads as an axle set, after cleaning the calipers %26amp; checking the caliper piston and handbrake lever operation.
