I have been using lots of EBC pads and very happy with them. What is interesting is that in April 2014 I put on a brand new rear disc and new pads, these pads and 2 subsequent sets of pads have been worn through with new pads last put in during March I think it was. Pads life and rear tyre life seem broadly similar. But the braking is excellent. Disc is still fine and will see maybe another 2 years.
Brake discs run too thin won't spread and dissipate heat there is less metal to absorb braking heat, it all means they will run localised hotter patches and more likely to distort. I have had discs crack due to being too thin, the risk is a disc fracture.
