Default Minimum brake rotor thickness for the S4?
My brake pad light came on today so while I'm checking the pads this weekend I'm also going to measure the thickness on all rotors. What is the "min" thickness I can wear to before replacing?

BTW I have gotten 109K miles out of my original brake equipment.

Default Dude... Agreed....I will probably change them out but I would still like to know the spec's
and see if I "NEED" to replace them or not.

Or you could get the slotted/drilled rotors I have. $239 for all four.

When you start hitting the cooling fins, you've gone too far.

The wear limit for most Audi rotors is 2mm.
