Upgrading front pads...should I do the rears too?
 

I just bought some Axxis metal masters for the front and goodridge ss lines. What fluid should I get, ATE superblue or Motul 600? How many bottles for a full flush? Will oem rear pads be fine or should I have ordered some matching Axxis pads? How much are oem rear pads?

I am going to install everything next week. Any tips or suggestions?

I my opinion, it depends on what you are going to be using the car for. If you are just going for a street setup, the rears are probably fine the way they are, because of the lesser amount of braking that the rear does. If you are going for a good track setup, I would recommend using good rear pads to compliment the fronts. Either fluid is fine, I know a lot of people that run with, and like the superblue. I forget how much fluid you need for a flush, I think like 32oz. but I am not sure.

You'll wear out 3 front pads before wearing out the rears.

Street setup with our car's 60% weight up front, you can skim on the rears, but then again, some would like to change all that pads around, and last checked, I ran down to 50% in fronts and 60% in rear so there isn't much of a difference in pad wear.

I plan on doing the H6 rotor swap and brackets its a 200 dollar swap and seems like a good mod without spending tons

Either one of the fluids works really well. The ATE is good stuff and the Motul. I have ATE in the family Legacy and Motul in the WRX and RS. When installing your brakelines, I suggest that you use a line wrench because it will be easy to strip the brass nut on the hardline side. Axxis Metal masters are good pads. I personally use the Axxis Ultimates. You do not need to upgrade the rear pads. But it does depend on what your purpose is, whether you do auto-xing, track events, or just for street driving, it will all depend.
