Re: [DML] Minimum rotor thickness?

["Robert Lingo" <rlingo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I realize now how thin that is , lol.

I just had my rotors turned, well, just the front ones.  I just ordered some 
shims because the squeal like heck now. Even with anti-squeal grease between 
the calipers and pads. I was just trying to answer someone elses question 
about the rotor thickness.  I just remember seeing the 7mm.

Thanks Rob...
