Looking for some input on rotor thickness and the relation to brake wear. Brakes still feel good for the most part just figured I would see at what thickness the fronts need to be replaced. Also what are good pads to run with oem rotors? I Daily drive so noise would would be a .

OEM pads are amazing, no need for a different pad unless you are swapping them out for the day. The thickness should be stamped on the rotor and they are also listed on here, but the search is a pain in the ass at times. I have a set of rotors and pads up for grabs if you need, I changed mine prematurely because my calipers went bad.

I will check tonight, I have a shop manual that lists what the thickness is when rotors need to be changed out.

Stick with OEM rotors, and OEM pads. If you can deal with a little more dust, and want better stopping power, then get Carbotech bobcats. They are amazing high perfromance street pads!!!

I had a set of HP+ front and rear on my car. I used them for a track day, and tried to DD them for a week before I had time to change them....I made it a couple days, and it was unbearable for me! Sounded like a train every time I came to a stop.
