so i needed new brake pads on the rear of my car. on one side the brakes taht i changed were still like new., but i went ahead and changed taht one no problem at all. but when i got to the side i knew needed the brakes, i went to get the bolt off to move the caliper, and the bolt snapped.
 so i went ahead and changed teh pads and they were down to the metal...  this confused me b/c the other side were perfect, and these seemed like they were the originals. the pads were different in name and style. and they were diff colors. so now the bolt hole needs to be drilled and a new bolt put in. so i now have new pads, the roatrs are still good. and my caliper needs to be repaired, but it isnt moving so i know i can drive iwth it for a little while

i believe the tabs are just wear indicators, like when the pads wears to that point, the squeek against the rotor lettin ya know its time for new pads
