Default new rotors, need new pads?

I'm getting new brake rotors for my 94 Ex. I'm goin with Brembro blanks. Do I need to get new pads when I replace the rotors? I just replaced my pads maybe 3-4000 miles ago so they are pretty new. I just want to make sure that there shouldn't be any problems.

thanks

It's recommended. You might have uneven wear and that may cause higher temperatures which might warp your new rotors. And you can get a good performance pad with them to really feel the difference

You should get new pads when you get new rotors.

I know a place that sell rotors really cheap and brake pads and the whole brake kit. If you want to know just pm me

More of a question would be why are you replacing the rotors? Warpped, Rusted, just wanted a new set? That will depend on if you should replace them. Depending on why you replaced the rotors you may just want to sand down the brake pads and call it a day.

People change their rotors to performance rotors (drilled/slotted) to have better braking and for good looks for their cars
