Those are the original brake pads from my 96 Saturn SL2 after 88,400 miles. The car was used for mostly city driving consisting of 1-2 mile trips.

How much do you want for those?
They're in the trash can.
You have until Tuesday to go dumpster diving.

So that's like one third or so of usable pad thickness left?
Where are the pics of you installing new pads and rotors?

They measured 1/8" on the inboard side (actually might've been outboard, I don't remember), so was it time for replacement?
My dad took the car in and had the brakes changed because he thought they were worn out. This was back in Feb 04...I'm at 101,300 now.

That's only 1/8"? How puny are those pads and backing plates?
Yeah, 1/8" is probably about the limit.

Nope, never had a such a problem.
Are those the oem pads and rotors?
Yup. I didn't replace the rotors; I just turned and reused them.
Well I changed the pads on my BMW to PBR deluxe plus this weekend.
On the left is the factory pad at around 36k miles, and on the right, the PBR replacement. It struck me as unusual how thick the BMW pads are. The replacement measured in at .515" of pad material, and the 36k mile factory pads were at .157" of pad material (and nowhere near the pad wear sensors).
These brake pads seem to have a little less bite than factory (10% maybe) but absolutely no dust. They were changed to eliminate that twice-weekly ritual of cleaning the black dust off my rims. I'm pretty pleased so far.
