Steve, Call your local NAPA autoparts or other parts house... they will have specs for you...
sounds like the BMW rotors we use to see... about 40k miles the pads worn out and rotors thin... $1600 brake job... cha ching!!!

They called after my wife dropped it off for it's 40,000 mile service:
"You need new front rotors." I told them to replace them but send the
old ones back with the car. They were worn about .04" on each side.
They resurfaced one and it ended up being below minimum thickness. I
have 2 Chevys with well over 200K miles each, both of which are on their
original front rotors. So I have 2 questions: 1) Has anyone else had
rotor wear problems like this on their Ford product? 2) The turned
rotor measures 1.055" thick. Is that below spec? I usually see the min
diameter stamped on the rotor but not on these.

thanks, please reply privately,
