Excellent video. One point on the disc digital caliper measurement, you can bottom out the back of the digital caliper on the outer diameter of the rotor to square up the digital caliper to the rotor face. It won't make more than 0.1" difference unless you are close.

Great call out! Pinning the comment!
Terrific information. People unfortunately replace the rotors earlier than needed more often than too late. Factory technicians can't distinguish craze cracks from through-wall cracks. In an abundance of caution, they recommend replacement. Also, some "surface cracking" is actually the deposited pad material on the surface of the metal rotor. It will quickly disappear with street driving. Keep up the great videos. 🏁🏁🏁🏁
Just came across your video on my home page. Good information for all Camaro SS 1LE Owners. New Subscriber here! Cheers! 👍
