Anything over 2mm can be used again, but it does depend on how hard or liberal you are with the brakes. Manufacturers of brake components will often match disc and pad material, so if you fitted Brembo discs and Mintex pads, they wouldn't necessarily be working at maximum efficiency.

 

The cost can be reasonable if you supply your own parts. Eurocarparts have frequently had 30% off offers this year. Most garages would supply the parts at retail prices plus their own small markup.
