I have a 99 Boxster with an intermittent beak wear dash light. I have been unable to find the minimum operating specs for rotors and pads. After inspection, I found a 1mm lip around the edge of my front rotors and about half that on the rear. At what point do the rotors need to be replaced? Previous owner replaced front pads and rotors at 48k miles (currently at 96k) with OEM parts at an Authorized Dealer.

I am new at vehicle DIY but, after reading the other posts, I think I will take a shot at replacing the pads and rotors, if necessary.

Any help is appreciated!
