Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport?

• Not always, but replacing pads and rotors together is often recommended to ensure even contact, optimal stopping power and longer overall life.
• If pads are new and rotors are within spec and true, resurfacing may be sufficient; if rotors are below minimum thickness, warped or cracked, replacement is safer and more cost-effective over time.
