Default How do I know my rotors are fried?

My car has 53K miles and I was wondering, is there a specific minimum thickness
spec on the rotor that I must exceed before the rotor has to be replaced?

if your rotors are shot when you brake you'll get a thumping noise from whatever rotor is warped, mine are shot, just to lazy to change them right now

if they don't break well, just change em. I recentyl upgraded to Brembo OE's and Hawk HP Plus pads. What a difference! My discs were really warped though...

The whole thing cost me like $179.94US (with all the necessary gfrease and gunk), Installed it with a buddy of mine (which was real easy). I'm sure you could even get a bettrer deal on those Brembos in the States...

Good Luck
