Time for new pads, what to do with rotors?

Well I have a front pad worn down to the tab on my Accord so I am going to replace them. So what would you do in my situation with the rotors?

BACKGROUND: Car has 199,000 miles (original rotors), only planning on keeping it for 1-1.5 years more, but I do appreciate having good performing brakes. In order to remove the rotors I have to remove the axles which is a pain but doable. Rotors are currently in good condition, no warping or deep scoring. Trying to to spend too much money on the Accord because it is going into the CL...

nash is right. brembo blanks with some decent performing pads. personally id go with some pads are quiet and sacrifice a little performance. either way, the car will stop better than it ever has.

keep yer stock rotors and have them resurfaced when you have your new pads installed. Pads, not rotors, will make your car stop faster/better etc., save the money for the CLS

If your rotors are within specs, not warped, why change them?
