Hi!
since we all are different, and ALL have different driving styles, NO ONE can tell you how long you have left.
4mm is pretty thin and I would go ahead and change them out.

What he said...I bought mine used with around 50k miles and the front brakes were almost done. I now have over 100k and have over half of my fronts left. Rears are still original and have a long life left. 80% of my driving is highway to work and back though, so there you go. YMMV

It's difficult to tell exactly how long the pads will last based on braking and driving style. Could be 2k or 5k miles or less.

Thanks justnspace.. Any pads can recommend? I intend to change them as soon as possible.

was told by dealer the same thing, 4mm left. You can wait a bit longer until its 2.5mm or so. The squealing noise will start at 1.6mm, this is when you must change.
If you do a lot of city driving, maybe you can wait 1 month, if you drive mosty highway, maybe wait 2 month. This is just a guess.

I like OEM pads, works good and seems to last a while.

any brake pad will do.
and I dont think you can find any brake pad under $60.
so, this means autozone brake pads are just fine, or you can go to the dealer

There are some cheap after market pads you can get, they are horrible, I made this mistake in the past and will be going back to OEM. Either go OEM or buy high quality after market which are not cheap.

Stoptech street are reasonably priced and have low dust. I can quote you on that or other pads we carry as well.

please, if they are under $60, you got what you paid for...

$60 is about the norm for brake pads, OEM or Aftermarket

russianDude

thats what I said, need to pay $ to get good stuff

Fekey, since you know your driving patterns, do you have any reference of how thick your pads were at some earlier date. That might help you figure out out how many miles you went between then and now and how much of the pad you used in the time period.
