Subject:small car brake kit

Hello people,

I have small car disc brakes all around and my brakes would make an
intermittent grinding sound but it would be brief and go away.  Now the
grinding sound is consistent during breaking and even a slight sound while
driving and not really going away.  I just took the caliper off to inspect
the pads.  One pad is definitely a little low and appears to have worn a
little on an angle but I should have another 5k miles at least.  I’m
guessing the rotor may be a little warped that’s why it’s making that
horrendous sound.  Does anyone know where to source the rear pads and
rotors and fronts while we’re at it?  Should I go to an Audi/euro  mechanic
with the pads and rotors and see if they’ll get me the part or number?
Thanks for any assistance peace tom
