Question Brake Rotors

The Car: 1988 924S
The Project: Brakes - Stock 15's

I am going to inspect my brakes this weekend and replace the squeaky pads. I am wondering, since I don't have a technical manual, what is the minimum thickness of the rotors before they need to be turned and/or replaced?

I don't want to make this a big project, but I don't want to ignore worn parts either.

Thanks

Minimumm thickness is 20.0mm, AFTER machining. How much 'turning'(aka machining) is going to take off, depends on how badly they're grooved, or warped.

I used to check rennlist often a while ago, and had backed off for a little bit, why?

Oh. I just see you a lot on Pelican Parts (when I check), but not much on rennlist. I prefer rennlist, people get in a lot less arguments.

Talking

Arguments? You mean Porsche owners argue among themselves?

Yes, check out the Pelican Parts board some time. Their favorite thing to argue about it street racing. They will go on and on for 50-100 messages restating the same opinions over and over again.
