What parts do I need to change the Brake pads/Rotors?

I am looking to change the pads and rotors on my 2007 S550 but I don't know if I need to order more than the pads and rotors. Can you guys let me know what I need to order too?

If you rotors are still good then just change the pads. I usually go through 2 sets of pads before I replace my rotors.

The problem is with the rotors not the pads but when I spoke to the dealersip they told me I need to change the pads if I want to change the rotors, but they want about $1100 front and rear and I am sure I will save about half of that if i order from parts.com

my issue is that I don't know what else I need other than rotors, pads and sensors.

That's all you need...pads,rotors, sensors. You should get dustless pads? I will be doing a break job on my car when I have time. And I'm going with them EBC red stuff. I had them on my clk,and had no complaints.
