Uh, are you saying that the new rotor is already below listed minimum? Odd.
Regarding the out-of-round (warped?) problem, perhaps they got warped by
brisk application of an impact wrench. BMWs and Hondas suffer from this.
Definitely better to tighten them with a torque wrench, despite the extra
time required. Can you find a minimum thickness number cast anywhere on the
rotor? (Perhaps in or around the hub?)
