Off the top of your head, anyone know minimum disk thickness for PPP front disks?

Confused! Why are you concerned about disc thickness?
Obviously the thinner the disk the more chance of heat soak and therefore the more chance of the disc warping under heat. But what are you worried about?
Not worried about anything. More worried about your questions to be fair!
Having only bought the car 2 weeks ago I just wanted to gauge the wear over the past 20k miles. Brake wear tells a story. Looks like they aren't that worn. Pads are probably 60% done though.
I've also worked out my supposed stock car is mapped so wanted to learn a bit more about the cars history. ie. track days or other. Brakes will tell me this.
There should be little dimples on the outer edge of the disc, like a hole that has not been fully drilled through. These are wear indicators, once these disappear, the discs need replacing so get saving.

Ok. So your trying to gauge your cars previous history by the wear on your discs and pads?

My car has done 20k miles. If the discs were worn out I'd be concerned about the use the car had. As the paint is excellent and discs are fine I have less reason to worry. Simple self reassurance that all. Is this ok for you?
Yes, you always get a lip on the disc as it wears.
So the little dimples or wear indicators on the outside edge of the disc would remain untouched.
Ant.
