Most rotors won't make it past one set of pads for thickness. If they are smooth and not warp(pedal or steering wheel shakes when braking), Reuse them. Using this theory you can get up to 3 sets of pads off the rotors. The minimum thickness is stamped on the edge of the rotors.

BRAKE ROTOR DISCARD THICKNESS 2002 Chevrolet Truck Suburban

Each brake rotor has the minimum thickness marked on the rotor. Keep in mind also that the comparative thickness of each side of a vented rotor must be considered. Even if the overall thickness is greater than the minimum, each side must be within .040" (1mm) of the other.

I just bought a certified pre-owned 2012 Hyundai Elantra and the rear rotors are only measuring 6 mm. This seems very low so I do not see how it could have passed certification. What is the minimum r

Hello Bethany,
I know a bit about cars but being English I don't understand about rear rotors. I am guessing it is what we call brake discs or disc brakes.
Unlikely I would have thought the actual rotors or discs would be worn to a thickness of 6mm (which would be bad news) and perhaps you are referring to the thickness of the friction material?

It is only a relatively small percentage of braking effort that is exerted by the rear brakes so the rate of wear is much lower than the front brakes so it isn't unusual to discover new friction material isn't much thicker than about 8mm, though many are thicker and some are as thick as those at the front.

It is a general rule that is adopted by most brake and car manufacturer that replacement of friction material or disc pads is not required until there is only 3mm left and I have seen manufacturer's recommendations saying 2mm.
With 6mm of friction material still remaining which is two or three times the recommended minimum there would be no grounds to refuse certification.

Take your car to the service shop and the guy in the greasy overalls will ask himself if 6mm will last you until your next visit and if he is honest he will replace only after asking you what sort of mileage you cover. If he is normal he will grab the extra profit with both hands...

Minimum rotor thickness

ON most disc rotors the minimum thickness is cast into the body of the rotor and will read min thickness and a dimension. The dimension is also available in the workshop manuals and from the service department of your vehicle. Do not be surprised if you find that your dimensions are almost at do not machine limits as original rotors are not much thicker than the low limit.

* All brake rotors have a discard dimension cast into them. Replace any rotor that does not meet this Specification. After refinishing the rotor, replace any rotor that does not meet the minimum or discard thickness specifications.
