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?

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.
