Question TL Brake pads question

Anybody knows what original (new) brake pads size is? (Non-brembo)
I have 8 mm left on mine front/rear pads, is this good to drive or time to replace?

I don;t know the size, but I know at 33k miles dealer said I had about 40% left, which amazed me as every other car I have owned I go through brakes at about 25k-30k, but dealer said he has been seeing the TL brakes go about 40k+ before needing changing. Truly amazing, since I drive my TL fairly hard.

That is true, but also depends on your driving skills. My son, 18 years old could do the same for 10K, since he is fresh driver and braking all the time without needs.
