Resurfacing rotors again, change pads?

99 SE-L with 41K on it. I've had the rotors turned once at 28K do to vibrations. I have a slight vib again. Nissan is getting it tomorrow to turn the rotors. I have approx. 50% of the OEM pad left. Should I change the pads after I get the rotors done?? Or should I wait? If new pads, which ones? I don't race or drive it to hard. I just want nice smooooooooth brakes.

Thanks guys.

The pads shouldn't have anything to do with the vibration or the warping rotors, unless you're looking to upgrade to a better pad for more performance, I'd leave them in.

if the pad is wearing evenly, keep using them.

if one side is worn more than another 1) replace them 2) you have a sticking caliper, so you'll have another problem to fix
