Thanks for the info wildcard!
In the mean time a friend had told me NAPA has those specs so I checked with them. They gave me the same 1.122" for the min thickness. I didn't ask them about minimum to machine.
I'm measuring 1.162 - 1.168 but the dealership tried to tell me they're under spec and need to be replaced. Bunch of crap! I knew it, they only have about 40,000 miles on them and have never been machined. Glad I checked instead of just saying ok.

Has anybody else had issues with the stock rotor warping. I had mine turned at 15,000 and they are bad again at 25,000. We drive around town (by we I mean my wife, so who knows what kind of punishment she is putting the brakes through) and never tow. Just a little disappointed with the problems. Are there aftermarket rotors out there that will hold up better, or are the stock metallic pads creating too much heat. Would drilled and slotted be the way to go. Thanks
