Looks like the opposite for everything else...

Yes i noticed that as well, i was watching some cars on car sales and noticed dealers had dropped there prices on some new/demo Colorado

a 32mm thick rotor with a 30mm minimum thickness has got to be on the skimpy side of rotor/caliper design

DBA is the same

DBA rotors must be the same spec as those provided by Holden since the caliper design hasn’t changed.

If a manufacturer chooses, they can design a longer lasting rotor via a longer safe caliper piston stroke. The longer safe piston stroke provides a larger difference between max & min rotor thickness. But where’s the money in having a customer replace rotors less frequently?

Yes it would add some extra weight but that would be irrelevant to road cars and marginal for pretend racers

Yes, seems common to have low rotor wear allowance but putting my tin foil hat on, it aint much difference to a 1000 hour light bulb consipicy of the 1930’s

How many special editions are now starting to finish their warranty period?

 

[V8 TIL 98]

Not sure, but some of the last ones had 7 year factory warranty... not knowing that there wasn't going to be a factory to actually honour the warranties (other than in name only).

General MSE (and probably LE) query: Anyone else suffered premature wear of disc brake rotors (pads fine) - below minimum thickness at 38,000km? Anyone noticed how the whole interior "creaks" over bumps and angles suggesting the entire unibody is flexing? Anybody developed valvetrain noise despite the rocker arm recall (especially audible when cold)?

Hi mate, haven’t been on for a while but wanted to see if you could help clarify what the rocker arm recall was all about as I have not heard anything about it? Is this something I should be addressing with Holden before my warranty expires? Also, I had issues with interior creaks etc but as mentioned earlier in this thread Holden applies some type of grease to all my door seals and windscreen etc and it really minimised the cabin noise. Also, I had to replace my brakes all the way around after 31k on the clock. Holden quoted me close to 4K but I got a mate to get parts at trade price from Sutton’s, discs and pads for all 4 cost me about 2600 in the end.

There was a service bulletin regarding the batch of faulty rocker arms, tied to vehicle VIN number. LS3 engines with rocker arms within the batch range should have had them replaced at next service (if they didn't break before hand). Similar to the A/C firewall grommet and Magnum sill plate bulletins.
