Guys,
I've got EBC reds (10k miles) front and rear. OEM original rear rotors (71k miles), and my custom 2 peice front rotors (10k miles).
Upon install of the new pads and front rotor rings, i had a shimmy, so had the fronts surfaced. Shimmy was better, but not all the way. Had them resurfaced. Shimmy was almost all gone, but still obvious considering how smooth it is supposed to stop.
About 1000 miles ago, i started getting the brake CEL. I removed my front and rear drivers side (so far) tires, and measured my rotors with a caliper.. 3.3-3.35 cm thickness (outside of rotor to outside of rotor) on the front, and 2.05 on the rear.
Without removing the pads, they; appear quite thick to the eye.. both inside and outside pad front and rear.
I'm trying to figure the light out before i hit audi north scottsdale. If it turns out my rears are cooked (too thin??) then i'd like to know what i can get them for before going to the dealer, since they typically price match.
If the fronts are cooked, (thickness should be same as OEM specs) then i need to reorder my fronts before i go in.
i searched but can't find the OEM rotor specs!!
anyone? suggesstions?
thanks, gerry
