Default Brembo front disc thickness - new

What should they measure - across the faces?

And, does anyone know if one face should be thinner than the other?

Thanks

Yea its aledged lol i wouldnt change them with only 2mm wear on them. I think this is done so when there in the dealers they can tell people they beyond specfied limits and need changing. Easy money for the stealers

what do you mean "alleged" wear??

the brake manufacturers specify a "safe" min wear thickness for a reason.........2mm wear limit is very common and beyond this the chances of the disc cracking, etc. are greatly increased!!
