About Turning or Cutting The Rotors

Today I spent my time checking the front and rear rotor thickness.

However, my FSM gives 2 different values for minimum thickness on the rear rotors. In the general maintenance section it says 8mm and in the brake section it says 9mm is the most minimum thickness the rear rotors should be.

Also, how much material (in terms of milimeters) does putting the rotors on a brake lathe remove?

My thickness in the rears were 9mm and the fronts was 20.5mm

Should I just get new rotors all around or can I get by turning them one last time?

Thanks.

material removal depends on the condition of the rotor...heavy grooves means more material removed..only slight imperfections then a slight turn should do it.

limit is 20mm front and 9mm back..you're at 20.5 and 9..get new ones.
