Need Racingbrake setup recomendation.

Between this two setup in pads:

Front: RB500
Rear : RB500

or

Front: RB500
Rear : RB300

And I will also be getting the RB rotors as well. Just need advice/opinion of which is best route based on our car's design as the rear tends to wear out way too quickly compared to the front.

I run ET500s all around. You don't want a softer/less aggressive compound in the rear or you can expect premature wear. The ET500s have a higher temperature rating so you can expect they can handle our rear bias without issue.

The ET500s are a sick setup and you will enjoy them. I'd do RB SS lines while you're at it too (unless you already have SS lines). The TSX brakes really wake up with this setup.

I'd stick with the same pads all around.

thats what i figured. i'm not familiar with aftermarket brakes .. so just had to ask. Yea i have RB SS brake line from marcus @ heeltoe. planning to replace front and rear pads and rotors to RB once the stock ones needs replacing.

Oddly enough, i'm at 79K miles and still on my 1st pad in the front and 2nd on the rear. Rotors are still within spec too.

How about the e800s? How do they wear in comparison to the E500s . Also, is it worth going with their twin plate stage 3 bundle? I am upgrading in the next two days and am sick and tired of the stock setup. I consider myself a spirited driver but don't do much racing

I too recommend getting the same compound all around. The 800 is probably pretty gnarly for the street but you can use them. You just won't see much benefit because you need to bring them up to temps to get max braking. On the street they will just cool down between stops.

I say that Stage 2 or stage 3 with ET500 would make you a pretty happy street performance guy. As we said, these kits are for:

Cool! We are now calling this a "stage 1"
