Hey people,
Recently got some of those slotted brake rotors from ebay. They look fine, and seem to be the right item, I am yet to fit them... prolly a job for the weekend. Now the new rotors arent the problem its my old ones. I mainly did the rotor upgrade as a bit of a **** type thing but after going out and measuring the thickness of my old rotors (front) I found that they appear to be 26mm thick Now, that reading is taken including the rusty ring around the edge so the part that the pad runs on may be about 0.5 thinner still. From what i saw in the technical info section the minimum thickness for the rotors is supposed to be 26mm and that a new one is supposed to be 28mm as my new ones are. So does this mean that in the life of my car (190,000k) it has had 2mm of material machined from the disc? How much do you have to remove when machining the rotors? What are the consequences of having a brake rotor less than 26mm in thickness? Cheers, Simon. |
