About right, thin enough to shock the hell out of me the first time I got in there to replace the rotor and brake pads on the rear. I was in panic mode trying to find replacements until someone on a forum mentioned that they're thin to begin with. After that I looked closely at mine and found that they were virtually unscarred, probably seldom or never been engaged.

You gotta find out exactly where the problem is first. Pull the rotor and inspect the mechanism itself, make sure the cable isn't pulled tight and binding somewhere. It might be something really simple, won't know until you find out precisely what's going on in there.
