There is a minimum thickness that they can not go below. The minimum thickness should be stamped on the rotor and you will need a micrometer to measure them. Also, if the rotors are badly grooved or warped, chances are they will need replaced.

If you explaine your concerns, I may be better able to help.

Let me know.
