OEM brake pad thickness

Does anyone know the thickness of the OEM brake pads for 2nd gens?

I just had my first oil change at 6k miles and they said my front brakes were 9mm and rears were 7mm. It seems like the rears are wearing faster than the fronts but could have less thickness than the fronts as OEM anyways? Actually it kind of seems like overall it is wearing pretty fast for fronts and rear as I do not at all drive hard and try to employ as many hypermiling tactics as I can.
