I haven't heard from any one with issues if that means anything to you.

Michael,

I got the Premium Package slotted/drilled rotors and brakes for all 4 wheels. Excited, planning to install this weekend.

Questions:

1. What are the minimum thickness of the front and rear rotors? I looked at what is stamped on the edge of the front rotor and it says 28.4mm. My ruler measured the rotor to be roughly 1 1/8 inches thick now, which is pretty close to 28.4mm if my math is right. They shouldn't be so close, right?

2. What is the difference between the Hawk pads I got vs. the Posi pads you also sell?

By the way, I did not realize that you also sell Premium blank rotors. I definitely want coated rotors to avoid rust, but though premium rotors are only for slotted/drilled ...

Thanks for your help!

Did you measure it like this?

If you're using a 12" ruler it's probably not that exact you'll want to use a caliper
