Minimum thickness of discs
« on: 05 April 2011, 19:18:08 »

Just changed new pads for all wheels. Discs seemed to be worn e.g. 1 mm/side. Do anyone know the minimum  thickness of discs. I have air cooled both front and back and about 150 000 km behind.

Some discs have the minimum stamped on them...  :-/ Can't remember if they are present on Omega discs, nor have any clue of the minimum

edit: a quick look at the Brembo catalogue it states 18 mm minimum in front, 15mm rear  :y

I'm sure the front disc minimum is a lot higher than that. Its around 25mm iirc.

New disc is 28mm so 25 can simply not be correct  :y

Haynes say all cars from 98:
front new = 28mm min = 25mm
rear  new = 12mm min = 10mm.

Then I will stand corrected. Sorry. Thought that one could trust the Brembo catalogue...  :-[ :-X

Thanks for all info. Front 28/25 seems to be logical. For some reason I have air cooled discs also back. So they are also quit thick. Have to measure them once again. I already forgot that result.
