Rotors warped... replace pads too?
After replacing the stock pads with EBC Greenstuffs last year, my stock rotors have warped... I'm planning on replacing the warped stock rotors with some aftermarket ones (Powerslots or Brembos).
Question: Should I replace the EBC pads that are on there right now with new ones, or does it matter? The EBC pads are still thick...

The pads are easy to do anytime. If it was mine I'd do the rotors and try to keep the old pads. If it turns out they're not satisfactory (which I think they will be) then I'd switch them out later.
All this assumes that you're doing it yourself. If paying someone else I guess for what pads cost its probably cheaper to have it all done at once.

Yes, I think that is the standard rule-of-thumb for scored rotors because the scored pads won't mate well with the new rotors. Do you think that applies to warped rotors too?
Anyway, I agree with you on the cost, not huge.
