Why are you copying me... Good to see we think alike on doing things right and having the right stuff on hand.

did some pad measurements...

(not sure which side is which for sure, but I can guess pretty well form where I left them so...)

what I assume to be the driver side:
Inside pad: 0.345 to .400 = 0.055 difference
Outside pad: 0.262 to .325 = 0.063

passenger side
inside: .390 to .358 = 0.032
outside: .325 to .309 = 0.016

so they were very close to flat. (note: I did not clean or scrape off dust from the pads, so the numbers may be off a bit, but w/e)

the one rotor I measured wasn't accurate due to the lip around the outter edge caused by the brake pads not taking it all off smoothly. but including the lip, the disks where 1.195" across. Min. FSM replacement thickness is something like 1.209"

So I guess I really did need brakes
