^thanks very much shipkiller. That's a lot less than I was thinking. I have about 25k miles on them and don't think the lip is serious enough now to deal with. Will try and measure them this spring.

A 2" digital caliper from Harbor Freight is the one you want.

If you get the 1" caliper, you will have issues getting it over the lip on the brake rotor.

Now I just have to figure which parts are shot to warrant an ESS supercharger.

How do you think I got the new pads to replace my OE pads that have very little wear?

Measured my fronts earlier. 27.3mm - 27.4mm was what I was getting in both of them. Currently have 31k miles. Brand new ones are 28mm.

The minimum rotor thickness is 26.4mm (fronts). It is stamped on your rotors.

I just turned over 20K with a bunch of track days and mine are at 27.4mm.

Personally, I would leave them and replace them when you get to the minimum. They are not cheap.

Up to you.
