Install new rotors with new brake pads?
Should I put new rotors on when I change my brake pads? I think the rotors are fine but is it something people normally do since they're already changing the pads then why not change the rotors? I just got the car so I don't know how old the rotors are. BTW I'm talking about the rear brakes on a 01 GSR.

Exactly, if they need it do it, if not, save your money for mayybe a complete brake upgrade down the road maybe.

even if they are warped or maybe rusted...take them to a shop that does brakes and have them throw it on the lathe, once they are done it should be true and will have a nice finish so it looks like they are new...
