PERSONALLY... when rotors get worn to the minum, I toss them. $90+
per rotor may seem expensive but a Canadian made aftermarket is about
$55 and a cheapo Chinese one about $30. I'd buy the $55 one. If you
want some comparisons, go price out some full sized pickup truck
rotors.

Brake rotors down to minimum specs.
I have a 2000 Carmy. My dealer told me the thickness of the
rotors and brake pads are all down to the minimum specs for
the front brakes and suggested to replace all of them. Is
it okay to use the rotors at the minimum spec and replace
only the brake pads since the rotors are a big cost? I'd
like a second opinion from you. Thanks.

you good deals.

Beware of any rotors made in India...
I made that mistake, they warped in
no time...

Re: Brake rotors down to minimum specs.
If you're rotors have never been turned - there is minimal wear from the OEM
pads on them. Replacing them on 3rd pad replacement is maybe typical.
Surely not on first pad replacement (unless metal to metal) and
questionable on 2nd..
