Strictly speaking, no. However, there will be a bedding period during which the braking abilities are less than maximum--occasionally dangerously less than maximum. Bedding is a reshaping of the brake pads to conform to the contours of the disk for maximum contact. If the rotor was replaced due to wear, the pads will almost surely show an irregular wear pattern as well. Additionally, you may wish to investigate whether the current pads are indeed the correct ones for that application. Always carefully road test all completed brake work before calling the job done.
