Guys,
does anyone know this for the S2 Exige? A groove has developed on the outside edge. Its mostly rust as it hammers off very easily....but I might as well check the thicknesses now... These pagids are just astounding....almost like the disc wears more than the pads!
Cheez!

0.980" or 24.9mm is the minimum thickness.

The manual says 24.9 , I recall that is a misprint and should be 24mm .

Not just the manual though so I don't think its a mis-print. I have seen manufacturer literature and actual discs that have stated the minimum thickness as 24.9mm.

Seem to recall that minimum 24.0mm is stamped on the AP disc. 24.9 mm is service minimum in manual as stated, I guess they change them at 24.9mm to make sure they don't get below 24.0 mm between services.
I have front discs down to 25.1mm in 6500 miles, lots of pad left, these Pagid 14s are indeed abrasive little blighters.
