Default Brake pads.

Just bought a set of Brembo,OE replacement slotted rotors.(groupbuy forum)
I just replaced my OEM brake pads,a few days ago;they have+/-3000 kms(1800 miles)
Can I re-use the same pads on the Brembo rotors?
I know I can use OEM pads on these rotors,no problems.
Thanks.

Are you asking if you can use old pads on new rotors? Not only can you, but it is a good idea to do so. Ideally new rotors should be broken in with old pads, and new pads should be broken in with old rotors. Both rotors and pads are most vulnerable to uneven pad material deposition when they are new, so using new and new together compounds the risk.

Exactly,old pads on new brembo rotors;
actually pads are not that old,about 1800 street miles(installed a few days ago),that'swhy I would hate to throw them away.($$)
So you say,I can re-use them on the new slotted Brembo rotors?
Thanks.

Yup, in your case there is no reason at all to get new pads
