Brake pulsation New hubs and Rotors?

Do you need to change brake pads when you turn rotors?
Depends how bad the rotors were. And how old the pads are. The pads will wear into the shape of the rotor surface. So new flat rotors will wear old pads much faster until they wear down to conform to the new surface. Also this could damage the rotor surface. Its cheap insurance just to put new pads in. Its a quick job since the brakes are all apart anyway.
