Last night I did all six brake sets (12 pads/shoes) on a German car:

The fronts mic'd greater than 0.800 inches so I kept the rotors.

But the rears were below 0.7200 inches & they were edge lipped:

You never know if a rotor will be below thickness specification until you
measure it, so since I didn't have a new set of rotors, I decided to try
the redneck methods of truing them up, just for the learning experience.

One nice thing about doing all your own mechanical work on a car is you
find stuff like this busted brake line, which you won't know if a mechanic
will find because they don't spend the time to look around that you might.

I'd be putting money on you being the cause of that little faux pas!
