Rotor life remaining?

Do they look like this?
Unless this post is a joke, just break out the calipers (measurement calipers) and measure the thickness.
If you're close to what Porsche states is the minimum for your model, then replace them.
If you're tracking and you're questioning if they're too worn, then replace them.

I don't know, maybe they can be buffed out a little bit....

Posted from my phone.. not sure why the photo didn't upload. Have added it now.. let me know your thoughts on track life remaining.
Thanks

I would say a ton of life left still. Mine look like that around 15 track days and last a total of 25. Issues would be if any of the cracks reach the edge or those slots disappear depth wise. Also, make sure you check the inside face of the rotor, as wear can be uneven.

They look like Girodisc. Somewhere on them is the minimum thickness or its on their website. Take a pair of calipers and measure the thickness of 2 quarters. Place the quarters in the middle of the rotors and take a measurement. This avoids a false reading due to the lack of wear on the edge of the rotor. Subtract the thickness of the quarters and compare the result to the minimum thickness. They look okay based upon the depth of the groves but it never hurts to check.

Just thought I would drop in here and mention that the discard thickness is 2mm less than nominal so we actually machine the slots on our rotors at a depth of 1mm on each side so once the slots have completely worn away you know that you've reached the minimum thickness. These are still well above that and the heat checking on the face is minimal, needless to say these still have plenty of life left. Enjoy!
