IMO, better to change them seperately. If you change the rotors first, leave your current pads in. Once the rotors are bedded in then you can change the pads too. It'll still only take a few hours, but the results are worth it I reckon.

If you change to new pads and rotors at the same time, chances are you'll glaze the pads/rotors and braking performance will not be as good as it should be. While the brakes are being done it's a good chance to upgrade to ADR approved S/S brake lines for better pedal feel.

As always you'll need to bleed the brakes which requires 2 people and if you are not 100% on it (ie you haven't done anything with brakes before) DO NOT do it yourself, let a pro handle it. Labour < Coffin
