Hi fellow ISF enthusiasts, I'm wondering if the rotor wear I'm seeing on my car is normal. It's a 2012 that I bought brand new in November of last year. I have only diven it about 2200 inner city miles since I bought it, but I'm pretty happy so far.

The depth of the wear measured 0.41 mm, so assuming even wear on both sides of the rotor over 12,000 miles putting around the city like an old man , that would be about 4 mm of a 30 mm disk.

Is it soft Iron, aggressive pads or a combination? That seems like quite a lot of wear, has anyone else experienced a similar problem, or is this a sad fact of life?

I'm going to bring it to the next meet if possible, but if any other local (Sacramento) ISF people want to take a closer look, I can arrange.

I'd like to know what other people have experienced before I take it to prospecting... oops! I meant service department for monectomy.

My plan B is to pull and resurface the rotors and put new/better pads on.

 

Min thickness is 28mm. You get 2mm of wear from new. No, I have not experienced this, and I track my car.

Surfacing the rotors only reduces the service life. I bought a pair of used rotors someone surfaced and they were just above minimum thickness. I paid $50 for them. They weren't worth a nickel, and were dangerous to drive even at street speeds because the groove from the resurfacing made the brakes pretty ineffective for anything more than a very gentle stop.
