New rotors with Old pads

[judoant]

My pads are about a year old, but only about 20% worn. My rotors are warped, so they are getting replaced. Will i have any issues with using the old pads? My previous rotors were cross drilled and the new ones solid OEM.

Probably ok but I would rub the pads on some sandpaper to break the glaze and leave a clean surface to help them seat against the new rotors. By the way you don't seem to have a signature, so no one here can tell what you are working on.

If you got it taken apart you might as well pad slap it. It may issues with seating.

I agree. Remember to wear a dust mask and wash your hands thoroughly after doing this.... there's bad stuff in brake pads.
