[V8] Brake Rotors

[Greg Furstenwerth]

Like I said I dont see any visible damage and I assume by what you mean 
deep grooves they would be visible aye? I dont see any visible grooves. 
This is why I ask if they are yanking my chain trying to get me to 
purchase something I do not need. As for my 4000 it did have a bad 
caliper so much so that it dragged alot so those were shot and I could 
see visible damage I am full aware what a dragging caliper damage looks 
like none is there.

Well anyway thanks for the response I did not know that they did not 
wear out good to know.

On the face of the "hat" or on the rim of the rotor itself has a minimum thickness stamped on it.  I suppose a dragging caliper could do something similar.
