Nope, not necessary. Drill 'em out, drop on the new ones, bolt on tires and you're good to go.

Make sure you clean the hub before slapping the new rotor on. Most of the time it is very rusty. I check the runout on the rotors also to prevent the brakes from pumping air into the system. I spent about 2 hours today getting the fronts to within .003. The brake rotor was OK it is the hub that was out.
