I have an issue with vibrations when driving over 80 k\h, and someone who inspected the vehicle said the rotors are warped. Of course I realize it could be something else and I'm going to verify it myself, but assuming it really is the rotors, do I have to replace the brake pads at the same time, or can I just do the pad bedding process to shape the current pads to the new rotors?

It is always recommended to replace the pads when replacing, or resurfacing, brake rotors.

The pads may look fine, but if you are trying to solve the vibration issue, using the old pads could transfer problems you cannot see, like uneven wear, cracks, etc.
