very rare that the handbrake shoes are worn completely as they are only used when the handbrake is on.i used import car parts and paid £70 all in for discs and pads.

have a look at the discs,if there is not a large lip on them then they are probably fine,most likely that your pads have worn down to the wear indicators and thats whats making the noise,easy fix,set of new pads.
