When changing front brake pads do I need to replace Front rotors as well?

If it were me, I would replace them all at once.
At a bare minimum, considering getting the rotors resurfaced, but make sure they measure the rotors to ensure you'll have enough material left when they are done resurfacing. Your local auto parts store should charge you $10-20 to resurface the rotors.

if you track it then change them. Otherwise it's a judgement call on their condition. I've personally rarely had luck with having them turned. It's sort of a lost art anymore as rotors are relatively cheap now. When I did have them turned they usually self destructed shortly after from being to thin, regardless of whether they where still in spec or not.

I guess you can keep the same rotors if they are still in good cond. but whatever you do, take it to an independent shop to save major $$.

but these Audis seem to be very touchy and unless the turning is done perfectly, pulsing/warping usually results.
Front OEM rotors can be had from ECStuning.com for cheap ($80 a pair), so I'd highly recommend replacing them
