Omega Owners Forum - Minimum thickness of discs

polilara Junior Member Offline Posts: 76 Finland Gender: Drives: 2.6 V6 (Y26SE) Sedan 2001 Elegance	Minimum thickness of discs 05. Apr 2011 at 19:18 Just changed new pads for all wheels. Discs seemed to be worn e.g. 1 mm/side. Do anyone know the minimum thickness of discs. I have air cooled both front and back and about 150 000 km behind.

I'm sure the front disc minimum is a lot higher than that. Its around 25mm iirc.

New disc is 28mm so 25 can simply not be correct Thumbs Up!

It's only 1.5 mm per side.

Front 28/25 seems to be logical. For some reason I have air cooled discs also back. So they are also quit thick. Have to measure them once again. I already forgot that result.
