[quote=""scooby1doo1""]I'm thinking he's meaning total wear from both sides of the disc, you have left side vent and right side.

You start around 28mm this would mean 8mm plus 8mm and 12mm vent. So min disc based on above would be 25mm, the min thickness should be stamped on the disc though.

To be followed by an AW8 suggested replacement monkey leg, I mean, they look the same so why pay full price for a OEM product :rofl:

So do we generally just trust the dealer to say when new disks are needed or is there another way?
