Minimum rotor thickness for machining

[stealthn]

Hi,

Just tested out my new quick jack (awesome) and I see it’s time to change the rear pads, did the fronts last year. Just wondering what the minimum thickness or the fronts and rear rotors are for machining? 06 Cayman S

I need new tires so hoping not to have to change rotors as well as pads.

Thanks in advance

Front = 26.0 mm
Rear = 22.0 mm

Wouldn't that be anything more thing more than the minimum thickness. If you're close, like +5 mm or so, you would buy new rotors.

It's been my experience that machining doesn't help with warp--they may not pulse for a while, but the pulse comes back pretty quick.
