Default the construction lady holding up the stop sign says i need new brakes, what should i do?

i was driving along (~10 mph) during construction traffic and the lady was trying to get people to stop so the other direction of traffic could go.

my brakes squealed as i came to a stop and she looks at me and mouths, "you need new brakes".

i got these big red stoptech brakes because someone on this forum told me they stop pretty well, but now this lady says i need new brakes!

should i upgrade to brembos? what should i do?!

Default go by the same construction site.

cruise around 40 or 50, and when you're just about to hit her, swerve and lock 'em up right next to her as if you want to order a big mac.

then ask where the local NAPA is for brakes.

Default seriously...it makes my car sound like a POS!

Some of my friends know it's the metellic pads, but most of them think I need new pads. But then I stomp on the brakes and asked them If i need to replace them.
