To say Cool Carbon pads are rotor friendly is a MASSIVE understatement!!!
The pad thickness is over 5/16" (.312). Didn't measure pad t'ness new but would estimate this is around 1/2 pad life.
I have no idea how some have stated excessive dusting, when so little rotor/pad material has worn in 35k miles.
When these had 6 months and around 10k miles, I found the 1.2 rotor thickness was down to 1.185 (.0075 worn per rotor side). That 1.2 new measurement was taken on the soft Zinc plating surface which wore off during initial bedding, so actual rotor wear was lower then .0075 in 10k miles.
I would put this rotor/pad combo up against ANYTHING short of carbon/ceramic pads/rotors for longevity.
