Brake pad question

My 07 s has about 2mm either side on the front pads...there don't appear to be any wear indicators...or they have worn down.

Qusetion 1..Does the S stock brake pads have wear indicators?

Should I change them with 2mm left or can I get away with a track day on this much pad?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Cheers

Change them before your track day. Not worth it (and they're pretty close to shot.)

From the shop manual:
Checking front brake wear
Look through the slot in the caliper clip (1) to make sure the groove in the brake pad friction material (4) has not worn out.
