Default Brake problems

I know for the fact that I'm experiencing some problems with my brakes but then I do not know exactly what I need to replace. If it is only a specific part like Mazda Brake Caliper, Mazda Brake Pads, Mazda Brake Disc or do I need to replace the whole brake system.

I'll just update this post soon cause I know the km/miles that I have on my ride is also important for this but then I hope you can give me some insights about this.

Thanks!

Not stoping right away, and some noise.

Default RE: Brake problems

Can you describe the noise (grinding noise when braking, squeak when braking or not braking, etc)? Can you tell if noise is from front or rear? You could have brake pads worn badly enough that the friction material is worn away and the metal backing is now contacting the rotor. This would make a metal to metal grinding noise and reduce stopping ability.
