I am driving the car today. When I get home I can immediately use my IR temp gun and see if that brake disk is hotter than the other. Although it might also be warmer if the bearing is bad too. Might be interesting to notate anyway.
Thanks guys.

you can use a vernier calipers to measure the brake disc provided if you can find two spacers so that you are measuring the wear surface of the disc and not getting hung up on the edge of the disc.
Use the spacers on the caliper jaws and subtract the length of the spacers from the measurement.
