I did that with my V70R, replaced the pads and left the rotor. I should have removed the rotor and had them turned to remove the lip. But, just to remove the lip! These rotors are already too thin to turn.
My brother-in-law just takes a file and files off the edge. He's nuts!
Some will put the new pads on, stop a few times, pull the pads off, and then grind down the outer edge so that they ddon't touch the lip.
If you get OEM pads to replace the OEM pads, there should not be a problem. Some of the aftermarket are just a little bit larger and will rid up on the edge of the lip, causing poor contact.
