So, i warped my new original rotors using my new original pads. I was wondering if I should replace the pads too now that i'm replacing the discs. The pads is about 9 months old. If I replace the pads, I think I would go with EBC greenstuff. Are those good pads?

Thanks smile.gif

Yes. It goes either way. If you replace one, replace the other (unless you're replacing the pads and the rotor is good, simply have the rotor turned).

Reason being is that the pad and rotor develop a wear pattern to each other and actually groove. If you replace one and not the other, you get an uneven wear pattern that will lead to poor heat distribution across the pad/rotor area, and eventually, warping.
