I've got data for W123 disc brakes that may be close=>

Front new = 12.6mm thick
Front service limit = 10.6mm

Rear new = 10mm thick
Rear service limit = 8.3mm

Maximum run out is specified as 0.12mm for both front and back

If your discs are of a different starting thickness then I guess a guide would be that the front and back can wear by about 15% (judging from the data in my Haynes manual I've given above)

'Hope this helps
