New Pads /Old Rotors

Unless there is a large amount of grooving you should be good. Just make sure the rotors are in good shape and smooth with no cracks.
This all sounds like good logical advice; and best of all IT WORKS! I'm about to be doing this same operation. My question is; which brand / type of pads did you use? And are brake wear sensors really necessary? as some pads don't have the provision for them. Any help or strong opinions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy
