   Steve,   
   You make something as simple as a spec into some kind of voodoo magic.   
      
   Every statement from you shows you have _never_ done a proper brake job in   
   your entire life, which is why you posted total bullshit about rotor warp.   
      
   Rotors don't warp.   
   They can't.   
      
   You need in excess of 2300 degrees F (brake fluid boils at 1/4 that temp!).   
   The brake system would be marshmallows by the time rotors got hot enough.   
      
   The _only_ way to know when to fail a rotor is when it fails the spec.   
   Period.   
      
   And the best way to tell if it fails the spec is either to _see_ cracks in   
   the rotor (or some other _major_ failure indicator), or, to measure it.   
      
   Only you and Alan Baker could (or would) possibly claim otherwise.
