Question about replacing rotors

Do I also have to replace pads... I don't have that many miles on the pads (HAWK HPS) and changing rotors soon. I'd prefer not to have to spend the extra cash on the pads but if II have to I will.

NO you don't.
You can by the rotors separately and replace them with the pads you have on now. And then you're done.

If you have enough pad left (easy to see). But you will have to do a bedding procedure to get the new rotors and the old pads to work at their best. Pete

Bleed the fluid and re-bed the pads! Done.
