Are ceramic coated rotors better?

Ceramic brake pads typically last longer than semi-metallic brake pads, and through their lifespan, provide better noise control and less wear-and-tear to rotors, without sacrificing braking performance.

What is the maximum brake disc run out?

0.08mm
The maximum amount of tolerance for brake disc runout is >0.08mm. The runout reading from the nearside front 0.2mm which indicates that the brake disc has excessive lateral runout. To resolve this issue, Techmate needed to determine the cause of the runout.
