Default If you are putting on new rotors, it is best to put new pads on as well.
you wouldn't want to break in your nice new rotors with rotten old pads now, would you?

Default Might as well since you have everything off...
...plus better to break in your new rotors w/ new pads as opposed to old ones.

For a daily driver, I HIGHLY recommend Mintex. Next to no dust and good daily performance.
