Default brake question, low mile z06

hi all! i just bought some new rotors for my car (way to good of a deal to pass up), and wanted to ask a question. the car has 15k on it, and the brake pads are in great shape. is it ok to replace the stock rotors with the new ones, and reuse the still good oem z06 pads? not sure if both surfaces need to be new.

thank you!

you should be ok with using the used brake pads.

Me too. As long as they are straight and flat, go for it.
