So I've got 96K on the car and am still on the original rotors. They don't pulse at all and have never been turned. They do have grooves from normal wear, but nothing crazy and judging by the lip where the pad doesn't contact the rotor, they seem like they have plenty of meat left on them. I wish I had a micrometer. Maybe I should pick one up.

But OEM blanks are only like $125 shipped and I'm about to do new R4-S pads on all 4 corners (well actually, I might go back to the stock pads for the Winter since they have over 50% left). Any reason to consider new rotors for the new pads? Anyone know the min. and OEM Thickness for front and rear rotors?
