sounds more like the rotors then the pads. you just might need a resurfacing.
when was the last time you had your pads and/or rotors changed?

 

Yeah maybe I'll change the pads with the rotors too. I wanna get some ebc red pads.



I haven't done anything to the brakes since I got the car, about a year ago or 22k kilometers ago.

 

changing pads is the easiest thing in the world. just make sure you wear a mask not to breathe in some asbestos. the new pads they make have 0% asbestos. you don't need expensive ebc's, just get some ceramic pads that have a split in them and they'll last you 5 years of constant driving. you shouldn't be spending money on pads.

a pair should be around $60 but there is really no need to pay more. make sure you get some brake grease and grease up the edges of the pads when you slide them in so they don't rust and squeek.
