You can get a decent digital caliper from harbor freight for around $10-$15 when they are on sale which is nearly always.

I put a washer on both sides of the rotor as I had a little lip and then subtracted the washers thickness to get the correct measurement. In my case, 65k miles and just under 1mm of wear IIRC
No I don't, lol. I will get one of those. I have 80,000 miles on the car, mostly highway as it is my DD, so I wasn't overly concerned. There was very little lip on the rotors, and this was the first brake change on the car. I figured next brake job would need rotors too. Now you have me all panicked.
