No, it was a different one. If I recall correctly, the disc measured 28 mm and that is the minimum. I ordered new discs and will have them installed next week.

First of all, thanks for all the tips. Today I was at the inspection and the mechanic there was helpful and said my front brake discs are at their very minimum width and should be replaced. I'm a little irritated the shop earlier didn't suggest replacing them and only replaced the pads. I will...
