Brakes-What am I Missing?

Recommended Posts

Sunny afternoon so decided to check and expected to have to change my discs(rotors) given they've done 70k now. When I measured the front rotor thickness (avoiding the wear lip at the edge) they were 28.3mm.

I looked at the workshop manual (BR section) and it says Standard(New) thickness 24mm, change at min thickness 22mm and quotes the Rotors as CLZ25VD.

I looked at my new Pagid rotors and they measure 30.5mm and stamped along the edge it says to replace at 28.3mm

What's going on. Either my vernier is all to **** (it seems fine) the manual is all to ****, I'm all to **** or my discs are getting fatter like me!!

Help, my brain hurts

Is that not the thicknesses for the JDM Brakes - not the Brembos?

 

No idea. The car is a UK version with a brembo abrakes, but when they talk about Brembo brakes does that just apply to the Calipers or does it include the rotors as well?

Just came across a 2004 spec on the net for Brembo brakes (which does include the a Rotors) and the thickness ( new) is quoted as 1.18" which is 30mm. So I assume there much the same as the Pagid Rotors, so I think I'm going to take the replacement thickness to be 28.3 as stamped on my new Pagid rotors.

Unless I here from someone who knows better
