Sport Rotor Minimum?

Simple question but couldn't find it in search or owner's manual.

What is the minimum thickness for a Sport package Brake Rotor before it needs to be replaced?

I would imagine different rotors have different tolerances. I don't think anyone is going to be able to tell you unless they know what kind of rotors they are....ergo stock S rotors, aftermarket rotor type......

Thanks for the link, looks like 30mm is the minimum for the BBK/Sport FRONT rotors.

I'm at a little over 32mm so have some left.

@Mattser, I have never heard of replacement rotors having a different minimum thickness, if you are still using the stock calipers. The minimum thickness also protects the caliper pistons from overextending.
