Time For brakes

Ok, so its finally time for new pads all around. I have about 46k on m 05 coupe 6mt.
The guy saud my rear rotors still had stops in them as is.
Should I just replace the pads now and hope to get another 6 months or so out of the rotors or should I just replace them all. Ofcourse money is a big factor since pads are cheap compared to rotors. But, I rather not have to do brakes twice this year

simply replacing the pads is not recommended. either resurface or replace your rotors.

dont forget to lube your slides, clean the hardware/shims well and grease between the shim and pad.

I would just do it all...rotors and pads. I machined my rotors one time and they did not last very long. Just my .02
