Large ball joints, small ball joints, & Aussie spindles & brakes

First you have to find out what parts you have now.....U.S. or Aussie if they're different. As for driving with thin rotors, it would depend on how undersize they are. When it comes to the Kelsey Hayes U.S. brakes, the specs were over-conservative. I personally have no problem cutting them .030 under the limit. The most that can happen is they get too hot and warp, causing a pedal pulsation. Until that happens, save up your money for the new rotors. I doubt you will find a good quality brake swap costing under $500 unless you buy used.
