its got those little cracks in it and its 9 years old probably seen 20 track sessions overs it life I would guess, still measure 31 mil where min is 29.8 mil. Also the outside rings are going to cost me 550 AUD but I can get the slotted single piece for 400 all in, should I keep with the 2 piece or go the cheaper one piece slotted?

If it's still above min tolerance and it's not shaking under braking, I wouldn't just yet.

Pad mark at 11:30? Other than that they look fine to me.

I would replace all 4 but if money is tight I'd leave them on but not for too long

Does your nail catch in any of the cracks on the disk? I've always heard that that's a good rule of thumb for whether disks have cracks deep enough to require replacing.

I think its just better to save up and buy the 4,
id rather spend money on braking ability than power.
but i think they can also be resurfaced if you are on a budget
