Hello folks,

Bought an 03 P5 and after 4k miles all four brakes had to be serviced. I challenged the dealer that the pads were below minimum when the car was sold and they did not replace. The service manager told me that the Mazda service manual states 2mm and 1mm are the minimum thickness for front/rear pads respectively. That doesn't sound right.

Can anyone provide some ammunition for me?

Thanks much.
