Showtime Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 The last time I had my brake pads changed, the dealer said they changed the rotors evry time they changed pads. Is this right? Is there a minimum thickness for the rotors or do you always dump the old ones?-Showtime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maiku Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 you shouldn't need to replace the rotors until maybe after 3-4 pad changesdepends how much you use the brakesonce the rotors wear down, then it's time to replace themwhat car by the way?

howardc64 Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Everyone suggest you can get 2 sets of pads out of 1 rotor.Minimum rotor thickness depends on the which rotor you have.http://www.volvospeed.com/850fbrake1.phphttp://www.seawinds.ws/volvo/brakes_850_s.htmAbout to replace mine on an 01 V70 T5 with 16inch front wheels (305mm diameter rotors). Minimum specs are on page 3 of this linkhttp://www.volvoxc.net/resources/how-to/pd...replacement.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay13 Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 The min spec is stamped on every rotor on the hat portion. add .8 to the stamped number if you are replacing pads and want to know if the rotors are going to last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody have the specs on the rotor thickness?-Showtime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay13 Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 My little books with that info are at work, but like I said it is stamped on the rotor. It would depend on the size of rotor you have, some of the V70 XCs have the same rotors as the S80 and they are 25.8mm min. Other the spec is usually 23.8mm at pad replacement.
