    Buy new rotors if you're worried...they are cheap.

    They are orig. & my guess they are steel? I replaced the pads @ 36k & do not know if I can get other 35k out of the rotors. I am missing my Micrometer. I have repaired 4 cars this month & just whip with cost.

    Not much help but the Minimum thickness is cast into the rotors.

    I think it is 18mm but not 100% sure on that #.

    I look all over only find out for the 2006+ ....20 mm. 18 mm. sounds good. I am going look see if they are on the rotors when off. Repairing the cars in the heat = Weekends before sun up & getting very old.
