[Shotimes] tie rods and rotors

[Ron Porter]

I suppose it probably isn't as simple as on the stock rotors, where the
minimum thickness is stamped right on the inside of the rotor!!

Anyone know how far the .81" Wilwood rotors can wear before they're no
longer safe?  Do they have a minimum thickness like all OEM rotors do?

There are much more experienced brake experts here than me, but as long
as there isn't any warpage of the rotors, I'd just let them go.  If the
car stops straight, with no shaking of the pedal or the wheel, and no
noise, I'd consider them fine. 
You could get rid of the grooves by smoothing off the pads....they cause
the grooves, so if you smooth them, the rotors will smooth out too, over
time.
