Default Need new rear Brake Pads - EBC redstuff? Opinions?

Hi guys,

I had my tyres changed this weekend and was told my rear pads were running low (hadn't actually realised before the guy pointed it out to me).

I've a 07 hawk sti, from what I know totally standard brakes (Brembo's with OE Pads) at the mo, was thinking its probably best to upgrade the rear pads to something a little better. As they're only the smaller rear brakes I'm not sure if it's worthwhile spending loads on these so if you could let me know what you recommend that'd be great please.
Is it a good idea to replace the fronts too or is that overkill? (they have plenty of life in them still however my brakes don't always feel as responsive as I'd like them)

I dont do any trackdays etc.. however do like to drive the scoob hard from time to time

Was looking at EBC Redstuff as they seem to be popular and not too expensive (I don't want to spend too much), are these recommended with a standard setup?

Thanks in advance!

not for me personally you would be far better with the likes of Brembo HP Sport pads albeit they are a little more expensive than posted but far better performance/quality..............

the rears on a 4wd car do far more than people give them credit for
