Change Pads? when changing discs.

[terryp]

Hello
Just about to order my discs and pads and wentt to look at the car to try and see which type of caliper I had and saw that the pads were virtually new , must be in the region of 8 to 9mm of friction material. The surface of the disc being worn but quite flat.
The question is that the discs are worn and need replacing, do I use the old pads or renew?
I suppose the only issue is they may take slightly longer to bed in?

Sorry if its an obviousl question but I am use to soft pads (asbestos type) and hard discs in old cars when the disc never worn out!

Thanks
Terry

always new pads mate when you do the discs your old pads may still look good but would have shaped to your old discs
