Rough by eye measuring- with back plate and pad material- 15 mm.

These are the Frixa pads as supplied by Shockworks.

So thinner in pad thickness to accommodate the 34 mm cooling curved vane discs and to have caliper size fit in FPV 19 inch wheels, but significantly larger pad area as say compared to the Brembo 6 piston fitted to FPV.

Engineering = no free lunch & compromises
