    Rear brake disk

    Just put my car in for its MOT and its failed on the rear disk's being excessively worn. It went to a main dealers for the free MOT and i think they are being picky. Does anyone know the thickness if a new disk and the wear limit ie minimum thickness. Any help would be appriciated.

      Non genuine rear disc is under £17 inc VAT from Euro Car Parts & similar from GSF.

          Brembo discs are available from GSF, they've got to be OE quality IMO.

            It's £16.50 each. Brembo/OE/ATE/ECP discs, it's all a matter of preference. Over the years I've tried cheap and expensive cross drilled know brand and found nothing to choose between them as they do so little work so now I use cheap but look to change them sooner once they become rusty or grooved.
