Best Answer

I would always suggest replacing brake pads and rotors in pairs. However, if the pads still have a lot of life in them, at the very least take some sand paper and scuff the surface of the pads up. Over time, heat and other contaminates can cause pads and rotors to "glaze", or obtain a shiny appearance. If you don't remove the glaze off the pads, it will just transfer over to your new rotors, and may degrade braking performance.
