    I'm using EBC sintered pads in the rear and they don't have the wear indicator notches like OEM. How far should I let them go before I change them?

    Thanks :thumbsup:

    Not sure what to tell ya. I tried looking at their website and I looked in the Honda workshop manual, but can't find anything giving a "minimum thickness". Might have to call them and ask? Good luck.

    really, they can be used untill just before they're used up, but draw a limit at 1mm or so.....

    The more you wear them down the more the piston has to come out of the bore causing potential sticking and damage. Dont forget to flush you fluid while your at it.
