If you dont replace your brake pads before they wear down to the metal backing, the rivets in the metal backing will gouge grooves into your brake disk. The more you drive like that, the worse it gets.

When this happens, it will mean that you will have to replace the damaged brake disks too.

If they ware down to much you can hyper extend you caliper/wheel cylinder and you will need to get new ones of those to.

Congratulations for realizing the difference between the words 'brake' and 'break'. You're one of few on this board to use them correctly, and both in one sentence, wow!
