I ordered a new set of Crossdrilled/slotted rotors.. it's supposed to come in next week, but when i get them changed, am i supposed to change the pads too? i only replaced the pads a few weeks ago..

are teh rotors that they are on smooth or are there grooves and uneven wear on them. if they arent smooth and stuff you will damage teh new rotors with the pads. if the rotors are in good shape and if they have only been on for a few weeks id say every thing is ok to reuse them

Ya I put on a new set of pads on rotors that were a month old on our other car. The key is to drive the car gently for the first 500 miles, and then bed them in. Until this day, I have no vibrations and the brakes are functioning great.

alright thanks gguys.. my rotors are kinda rusted on the edges right now, but its not really bad. the rotors are in fine working condition, its just that i got the pads redone, so i was just nervous about putting my new brembos on it without changing pads.

I think you should be fine keeping those old pads on , since they are fairly new as well.
