you have a rotor back there, not a drum. Are you sure it's the brakes and not suspension?

i agree with 03sixbanger it is more then likely time for new pads and rotors. go to a trusted tech to see if you need new rotors or if you can just get them turned. and i dont know where yay...day87 is from but rotors are at least 50-60 bucks a piece and those are the cheap ones. getting them turned my cost you about 10 bucks.

if your trying to get the best deal i would go with a good rotor set and some good pads, even if the pads are not the most expensive one as long as you DONT let them get too low. as long as you have a good rotor that wont thin out too fast you should be set.
