Brake pads necessary?

audi100man · 04-02-2005, 04:25 PM

I have a 92audi100cs and sometimes there's a screeching sound when i hit the brakes lightly. Since this is my first car, im not sure if that means i need new brake pads or not.
Another note: My rims get dirty real quick!
So if these are symptoms of deteriorated brake pads, where can i get cheap but good brake pads.

if there's less than 1/8" of pad material left, they should be changed.
