Rear brake ate itself

So one of my rear brakes at itself, it isn't stuck on and the wheel rotates freely. The other has over half the pad left too. What commonly available pads should I replace them with? I need something available soon heh, but I do autox the car. It's got SVT rotors on the back if that changes anything IMG_20191231_194713_144.jpg IMG_20191231_194714_389.jpg

If it was me id just get some pads from the Local Vatozone...Oreallys or CrapaNapa. Then I would get a nice set coming. The Hardware will need to be checked to see if its seized into the caliper or the piston no longer fully operates properly. Use high temp synthetic brake grease during install...Good stuff....not $3 dollar a bottle stuff.

Check your slide pins. And the pad slides themselves. Its probably caught and dragging eveer so slightly.

I would pull the pins, clean and relube them and the slides themselves. I use Permatex.

For pads: since you autox: at minimum I would use OEM pads or something grippier. The local autozone special will work in a pinch if you cant snag OEM's quickly.

Bleeding your brake lines might be a good idea as well.

I may do the cheap option for now and swap them later, I have big rotors already on the back so it shouldn't be too awful
