UPDATE
I rotated my tires again Saturday for the last autocross event yesterday and measured two things. The tread on the tires, and the pad thickness in the front.
Tires with 5 track sessions and 3 autocross events (17 runs), and maybe 5k road miles, the fronts were down to 3/16" on the outer edges and rears were 5-6/16"s on the outer edges. Im just saying this to show that im not easy on my car in any respect, even in daily driving.
The brake pads with 2 seasons of autocross (prob more than 100 runs) and the 5 track sessions at Mid Ohio where i got up to 110 on the back straight coming into Corner 7, prob 15k miles of wait till the last second braking and the fronts sitll have over 1/4" on the outside pads. I didnt have the time nor energy to pull the calipers and take real measurements on the rears or inside pads but will here in the next couple weeks when i put my AS tires back on. Ill also take measurements of the rotor wear as well.

Ok, out with the summer tires, back in with the Continentals and since it was only 2 bolts, i pulled the front right caliper off and well, the pics speak for themselves... About 8.5mm on the outside pad and about 7.5mm on the inside pad.

Anyone can recommend an electronic rear brake disc pad for Mazda 6 2.0L model and a bushings kit for the control arm?

What?!? Measured in mm instead of inches??? You must not be an American.
Now I can confirm what the mechanic said to me, that it's normal to have different pad thickness. I thought something was wrong with my car.

If you think about it, the inside pad always has more friction on it.
