Doing breaks and rotors at same time is a good idea

Its not that hard to do and takes only about 3 hours your first time. Its also better to do them at the same time because the surfaces will break in at the same time and match up better. I drive a 9k cse fpt, not the aero :( but i love my car. In the 9000 its prudent to replace the blower and heater core at the same time due to the work involved. Same rule applies to all breaks. Why just replace the pads when its only one or two more screws that will allow you to change the rotors. Don't make yourself redo it 10,000 miles down the road after having replaced pads only. Pads and rotors for the whole car should cost you around 500. My pbr performance pads and cross drilled zimmerman rotors only cost me 400 dollars and 3 hours of a nice spring day to change and they've been perfect for two years and probably got one more left on them before i gotta do it all over. take care
