You will want to change out the brake fluid as well.

That's what I was concerned about - I don't really mind spending the $ to do the right thing (replacing rotors too) but if they were they type that could be turned it would save hundreds of dollars on a brake job I'd rather do myself anyway. Fluid change now makes sense too, had that done under normal maintenance when it was at the dealer around 35k miles.
