Your rear piston size is different, so it will throw off your bias slightly

Yeah I know that the rear brake piston is bigger but isn't oem and zcp rotors the same size for the rear ?
Quick question if I am at minimum thickness how much longer can I wait to replace my rotors?

Why would you want to down-grade rotors in the first place?

Cheaper than buying new ZCP rotors, which are around $500 for the front and about $300 for the rear.

More aftermarket options available, including the PFC DD rotors.

It's not really a downgrade.

Shouldn't do anything to the bias either. You aren't changing calipers.

If you're at minimum you want to change them sooner than later. How are your pads looking?

yeah its not really a downgrade, oem sizes for the front allow me to have so many more choices in rotors.

my pads are 6 months old hawk hps, and the rotors just reached minimum thickness. you guys think i can run them till i need new pads? my driving is all street no track events.
