I would put new pads on. New Rotors = New Pads, beside you said that you received new pads and rotors. If you have the new pads use them.

Well so far everyone has said new pads but no one is saying why. I have read on more than once occassion over the various forums that if the pads are otherwise good to just scuff the surface with sandpaper and brake cleaner and put them back on. You can rest assurred that the GM tech doing warranty work wouldnt put new pads on a new rotor. Just trying to understand.

I agree to a point. But the OP mentioned that he receive a set of pads along with the rotors, so way not do it as a compete set of new rotors as well as the pads. As the OP mentioned also, he had less than 1000 klm on the pads, but did he have the original rotors turned or simply put on the new pads. If the rotors were turned then the old pads would most likely be fine, but again he had a new set with the rotors.
With only that much wear, you can use the old ones.

I had the brakes done last August ( before I found this site always took it to the stealership). They replaced the rear rotors and probably turned the front. They work fine but I got new rims and tires then I thought the calipers need i little dressing up. Then it was what the hell should just go head and get some D/S rotors.
