Do I need new brake pads for new rotors?

Or can I just re-use the old brake pads? Is installing rotors difficult?

1. Yes, you need new pads. If your old pads were warped in anyway they will warp the new rotars.

2. No, one of the easiest things ive done.

Yeah, change the pads with it. I would do it even if it didnt warp the rotors. Change it while your there. Very easy to do rotors. Few screws and thats it.

You don't have to change rotors when you change pads, but you should always change pads when you change rotors.
