Default minimum rotor thickness on 997.2 C2

Anybody has the specs of the new and minimum rotor thickness for a 2010 C2 with stock brakes? (I know you can see it on the rotor hat but I would rather not remove the wheel only to check that...)
Thanks!

You can see the wear bars on rotor without removing the wheels. Look at the holes that vent air/heat. There are a few of them that are completely filled in...once your rotor erases those its time to swap out.

Believe me, I am super OCD I even bought an expensive micrometer to measure the thickness. It's much easier just to look for the wear bars and eye-ball it.

Check out the pic I posted in post #2 in this thread. It shows the wear dimples on Porsche 997.2 rotors. There are a some other pics a the rotors a few posts later.

^^ yeah sorry those are the dimples/wear bars I meant. They are on top AND bottom of rotor so they will give you a good idea. Just shine a flashlight on them.

I have a micrometer already, but those indicators are so much smarter! Thanks
