Stock suspension... something?

If anything, the rotor is probably warped and needs to be replaced/resurfaced.

What is wrong with the pad? Did it run out of material or what?

Im guessing, or the person who did the brakes, didn't replace it or put a used one on or put it on wrong or something, b/c my others are fine. If I do have to replace my rotor, about how much would that cost?

Alright, So I took my tire off, and checked out my rotors. They look fine to me, but I'm not a brake expert. So I will post up these pics. Sorry about the image quality. I had my crappy camera balanced on my toolbox, and the shots still weren't crisp. Lol. How good of a shot can a 1 Mega pixel camera take anyways though? Anyways, Here they are.

Normally the rear rotors will last allot longer then the fronts because they do less work. They can still warp but it isn't as common.

The outside looks ok, look behind it and see if the inside is grooved or has any wear marks.
Either way brakes shouldn't make any rattle or clunking noises. If they do something is very wrong, like they were not put back together right.

How was the pad wear compared to the other side? You prob. got a sticking caliper. Had that on my crx. Ever smell anything like clutch when you're driving?

No not really I've never had any kind of smell to my knowledge. I rarely drive with the windows down, And my sunroof doesn't open. I tried to look behind the rotors today and there was a guard on the back side. I didn't wanna fck anything up so I left it alone. This easy to remove?
