Your rotors are still well within factory spec so on a street car that does not see excessive brake heat, a pad replacement only is SOP. If you do a lot of track work and need ALL of the brake heat management you can get, replace the rotors too. As long as rotor thickness is not below minimum runout, they are still serviceable.
