"PS - Just as an FYI, the brake discs are usually changed out every other pad change... and Porsche does not recommend turning them (grinding down the grooves). I do hope yours aren't worn too thin! Mine are just about gone and will have to be replaced at the end of this year I'm guessing.""


If you go to an honest and competent brake guy, he will MEASURE the thickness of the rotor. The last time I did brakes on a box, the rotor COULD be cut and we did, saving TONS of money.

However, without measuring, you can't know for sure if this is safe, ie, will the rotor be up to spec after cutting.

Good luck!
