[QUOTE="hal keiner, post: 903423, member: 66101"] I understand that it is generally recommended to replace the pads when replacing rotors. However, I don't know exactly what the probable consequences are of not replacing the pads. I ask because I plan to replace my rotors because are were causing the brakes to pulse and I can not have the rotors resurfaced becasue they are worn below the minimum specs. The surface of the old rotors are still very smooth (without any grooves) and the pads still have lots of pad surface left on them. I can understand the need to replace the pads if the pads are worn or if the rotors are significantly grooved. Any opinions on this? [/QUOTE]
