Okay, so I was reading this thread from a while back concerning vibrating during braking:

http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=13934&highlight=vibrating+brakes

I'm currently at about 103000km and I've been feeling this quite a bit lately at hight speeds and might just bite the bullet and not worry about attempting to rebed and just replace the rotors. Now, if I'm replacing the rotors, is it recomended that I replace the pads as well? I think I still have some meat on the pads and they should last a while longer, or will the fact that they've been used on warped rotors cause them to have an uneven surface, meaning they should be replaced together? Your advice is appreciated.

if your pads still have life, just use them.

you dont HAVE to change them at the same time as your rotors, but most ppl do because alot of shops encourage it because its extra cash + they are already working on the area anyway. Break jobs = rip off tho when it comes to labour so find a good shop if your going to do it all.
