Yeah was drivin around and heard my brakes in the back and its a hard scraping sound but i only hear it sometimes. Im thinkin it has to be the brake pads but just to be one the safe side since i heard them scrape when i turned could it be something else? i dunno but I definitely hear it in the brake pads when i brake? suggestions?

If your hearing that its probably the rotors. Have your pads been worn out for awhile? If you neglect them they your rotors will mess up. They will probably have to be replaced.

I'm not to sure on upgrades, maybe Baer I think is how its spelled or something. Not to sure again. Make sure you get them checked before they get worse though.

does the rotors have grooves in them, check pads to. If they do, i suggest resurfacing the rotors and getting new pads as well. If no grooves and everything looks alright, then get some brake cleaner and spray the whole brake set up (ex. rotors, pads, calipers), then noise should go away, always works for me...Pm me if need further assistance.

don't forget about the backside of the rotor/brake pad which is not visible unless you take off your wheels. check that as well
