Brake pads...recommend plz

Need recommendation for brake pads. Fronts are at like 20-25% and rears at like 50%.

#1: Should I replace both sets at once or wait for the rears to wear down?
#2: Should I just get the Acura pads or upgrade pads? Does it make a diff?

#1) If labor is cheaper to have both done then one, do both
#2) You know how acura pads perform, upgrade/performance pads will give you better feel and stopping power. I recommend Axxis Metal Masters,they have more stopping power then acura pads. I have the Axxis Ultimate, great stopping power, but A LOT of brake dust. You ever see the durty rims on BMW....yeah, it looks like that

if you arent looking for dust stay with oem, they are a good pad. if you dont mind with a little dust (and in my eye the superior pad) go with the ebc green stuff. i have had them. and now have the axxis ultimates, the axxis are ok for braking (better than factory) but worse than the ebc when hot. they produce the most brake dust of all the pads. im switching back to the green stuff

Try this, Tirerack they have real good deals on rotors and pads, they also carry the ceramic ones which are known not to produce dust, and have a long life as well, good luck.
