Just did the pad swap.
About 85,000 miles.
Not bad at all, thanks to the tutorial and tips!
Rear rotors are at 22.5mm, so I'm keeping them.

This summer a shop told me I had 3mm left and they'd be due soon.
2 weeks ago, different shop told me 2mm probably do it quick.
The thinnest one is still at. 245" = 6mm.
Others are at. 275" = 7mm.
New ones are. 375" = 9.5mm.
Is there some magical different way I should be measuring my brake pads?
Or did I replace them way too soon?

Should I be measuring at the ends, where the chamfer stops?
New are about 6mm there, most worn one has. 1"=2.5mm remaining.

Most-worn old one:
