Do I need to replace brake pads at the same time?

EBC recommends replacing brake pads when installing new rotors to ensure both surfaces bed in together correctly and provide consistent braking performance from the start. Mixing new rotors with worn pads can result in uneven bedding and reduced braking effectiveness.
