When I step on the brakes, the peddle sinks almost all the way down to the floor. It started squeaking. What do I need to replace? Just the brake pads or brake pads and rotors? I haven't heard any grinding. Just squeaking. But there is no tightness to the peddle.

    you should replace the brake pads,the sqeeking is the wear indicators. The pedal travel is how bad your pads are. Get those pads replaced before it starts grinding.
