I think you pretty much nailed it. If the slotted rotor is not as thick or offset too deeply it would create a wider gap. I'm always suspicious of aftermarket parts.

What you did was buy a non vented rear rotor. The base model in some countries have a solid rear rotor with different (narrower) rear calipers. Your pad wore down to the point where it was no longer contained. Stock width rotors will hold a baking plate in place, I've worn them down to nothing on track and never had an issue.

Let me guess, DBA?

Edit: looks more like stoptech slots

Your edit is correct. They are stoptech slotted. So that said should I be concerned the rotors that I have on there will do the same thing to the new set of pads? As I stated all the pads on there were still at 3/4" life so for that to happen with that much pad life I was really confused. Now if they were mm from the squeakers or down to bare metal I could see what your saying being something to get worried about.

Yes if the overall width is incorrect.

However, you can quickly and easily go to any auto parts store, get a pair of OEM rotors for 40-60 USD each and put them on and be done with it.

Can anyone post up the standard rear disk thickness and I will measure where mine are at tonight with a caliper.

Ones I have are 126.47031SR They are a Vented disc. That said we all know that when some companies say direct OEM replacement that can be not always the case.

Online it has it listed for my rotors from factory as a nominal 18mm thickness minimum of 16mm thickness. I will measure mine when I get home and see where we are at and report back

We might have a winner. Rotors are solid in the rear. 9.5mm is the average thickness.

Ding Ding - Fries is done.

And fire your friend who did the brake work for not realizing he was replacing a vented rotor with a solid one.

Sure you can. Arrange to have a bus drive by your house so you can toss him under it.
