Default brakes Question

my front and rear roters are shot (peaks and valleys), but the pads on them are 2 months old.

I just bought a set of brembo roters and i wanted to know if you guys think i should also get new pads so its all completely flat? Because im sure the pads now match the lines in my current roters

and if anyone knows a good place to get stainless brake lines, that would also help a lot

Default keep your pads

But scuff them up with like 200 grit or more coarse sandpaper, then bed them in on the new rotors.
