Hey there,

Need to know the minimum rotor thickness for a 2003 GT Convertible, front and rear.

My sister-in-law's being jerked around by her dealer on a brake job so I said I'd do the work myself. Car has 31,000 mi on it so I figure best to cover all bases and check the rotor specs.

Thanks!

MK

Isn't the minimum cast on the hub of the rotor?

Hey Enzo,
I don't know if you ever got this handled, but I'm new and just wanted to drop you some info. Discard is 1.10(front), rear: .590. Keep in mind that Ford has a TSB out(I'll have to find the number) that says to throw away any rotor with less that .026 machineable material left.
