Weird/Scary noise

Yesterday when i was driving home i could hear something coming from the rear passenger wheel
Sounded like something grinding on something, so i had a look at the brake pad and it looked pretty worn...
Could the noise be the worn brake pads? If so where could i get some rear pads from? I've done a search and EBC greens, RB74's have appeared now and then
Any help would be appreciated

Are you referring to that screeching noise from worn brake pads?

You have a bent piece of metal on the pads which gives you an audible warning when they are low, which IIRC "rings" rather than scrapes but hey, every car is different in the noises it makes

your brake pads need to be changed...
i highly doubt its your brake disc's
but if your looking for new brake disc's and depending on your budget
i would go with DBA's or RDA's if your strapped for cash
can order from Autobarn or from repco...
standard discs shouldnt be more than $100 a corner

^^ Agree on all of the above.
Shame you're not in NSW, I'd change 'em for a bag of blow & a hooker

A house & garden set of mintex or bendix would do the trick. Dont pay any more than $50.

Oh & here's the Bendix part numbers etc. Bendix are quite common & their part numbers can be transferred to any brand.
