So I checked my front brake pads this morning and I have about 1mm left in the groove.  Per the manual, its all good as long as you can see the groove.  How long will that 1mm last me?  I'm a very conservative rider but I do plan on doing a track day in a month.  I'm just wondering if I need to change out my pads before the track day.

2nd question.  What type of pads do you guys use?

I got a 09 M696.

Change 'em.

For stainless rotors, use EBC HH pads.  They're cheap and bite better than the stockers by far.
