What are pads for?

Some brake pads have a 'squealer' plate attached. This thin plate does not do anything until the pads become badly worn. Then the plate rubs against the rotor, squealing (emitting a high pitched singing noise) letting you know you need to replace the pads - before they damage the rotors. Without this feature, pads wear out then grind deep grooves in the rotors that then have to be resurfaced (ground smooth again if there is enough metal left) or replaced. So getting pads with this feature saves you from having to replace a set of expensive brake rotors.
