Caliper distance

Maybe a weird question, but because of concave rims I would like to know the distance how much the caliper protrudes when new brake pads are in





can someone who has new brake pads on a c 43 measure from behind the brake disc up to the spring, see photo from yellow dot to pink dot, or how much are new brake pads

Get one of these tools to measure brake-pad thickness/wear:
Amazon Amazon

Your pad-wear console warning will occur when you have about 3MM of pad remaining. For normal driving, that's a thousand or more miles. If you're on the track, you better take it easy and check the wear after each session or you'll possibly hit the metal backing pad within another hour of track time.

Pad prices vary greatly by brand and type. FCPeuro is a good place to purchase parts:

... even their brake parts have a lifetime replacement warranty (only wish they sold tires!).
