try not braking so much. amazing how long brakes last when you don't use them.

IIRC evo pads are 14-16mm thick. You should be fine w/10mm of material. If not, backing plates will stop the car. Tell'em Blad.

^ what pads have you used before and what pads are you using now?

st43 have done well for me on street tires and last the longest of all the pads ive used. if they are good enough for me, they should be good enough for you.
