Do I have the 350z pads?

Hi, I measured the thickness on my front disks last week and it's 21.7mm. After some googling I found that the minimum thickness should be 23 mm?
So I need new disks, but whilst searching for disk thickness I came across a lot of comments about sometimes 350z pads being fitted by mistake. Them been 17mm thick whereas the teg is 14mm?

If I buy a new disks would they fit under the pads? (if they are the wrong ones) I think they are ferodo 2500.
I've attached a picture of said pad..

Cheers.

The ferodos 2500s I have on the are "shaved" 350z pads iirc buddy

Someone can confirm that though but I wouldn't say there the "wrong" pads.

Ferodo now make the correct thiskness pads, but , yes essentially they are shaved down 350z ones,

with new discs and the pistons all the way back sometimes they will just fit but can be noisy for a while, if you get some 40 grit production paper on a nice flat hard surface , 10 mins of elbow grease will see the pad friction material sanded down a few mm

Ok lovely I'll get new disks ordered, and sand the pads down if necessary. Thanks
