Default ok to reuse pads.

I have to get new rotors and my pads only have a few thousand miles on them so they are fairly new. I currently have crossed drilled rotors and I'm replacing them with normal non drilled or slotted rotors. Can I use my pads on the new rotors with out any problems.

Nick I would advise against using those pads even if they only have a few K on them, new pads won't cost you that much and you won't have to worry about un-even wear. Just my 2 cents worth,

considering the cost of my Hawk HP+ pads(140) and the cost of Aimco rotors from autozone(38 bucks each)... i would reuse the pads and just buy new rotors

but, you do the math for your set-up... 3k easy miles on a set of pads is nothing, there should be plenty of life left in them

just make sure to sand the surface of the pads before reinstalling them.. other than that, i see no problems.
