i'd say depends how old the pads are, if they are getting low in pad material change em.
Also check them when you change them to make sure there are no nasty grooves or trapped stone etc that will duck up your disks.
If you have £170 spare change em, (for uprated fast road pads).

safer to get new pads, not worth risking brand new disks for the what it costs to change the pads.
pads will go before disks, so you could always save them to put on when the disks arn't brand new and you need to fit new pads again.

If the pads are badly scored you could end up warping the discs due to the high spots and high heat build up, if not very carefully bedded in. Buy new pads it s the brakes, the most important part of the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
