Hi, could anyone tell me the minimum thickness for front and rear discs and pads on a golf gti 55 plate, cheers.

Front disc min thickness = 24mm (although new ones have 22mm - the GTI-specific figure is still 24mm),
Front pads are 2mm friction lining.

Rear disc min thickness = 10mm,
Rear pads are 2mm.
