I would definatly change the pads, I did.

If you are going to spend the $$ for the rotors, may as well spend $50 for pads.

I got some metallic something or others.

They work great with the drilled rotors.

I think you need either Axxis or Metal Masters pads....you need something for high performance braking with less brake dust emmission
