I took dial-gauge runout reading on all 4 rotors and thickness variation data, etc, and did some indexing of the mounting rotation offset to minimize the runout. Everything's way way below OEM spec limits. My worst corner is at .004" runout prior to bedding measured all the way out at the edge, and even that I think was reduced slightly with the wheel torqued on top (as opposed to lightly torquing lugnuts onto the brake rotor itself when measuring). The OEM spec limit is .014" a bit in from the edge (center of pad swept area, basically). So, measurably, these are good rotors in manufacturing quality terms.
Sorry to bump up an old thread, but can you confirm the spec above? According to the FSM for the G (which uses the same 4 pot brakes as the Z), the spec is .035mm or .0014" - that's 14 ten thousandths of an inch, not 14 thousandths.

The FSM does show a THICKNESS variation of .015mm, so maybe that's where you got the # from?

Anyhow, .0014" is pretty damn small, barely the thickness of that thermal receipt paper.
