Default Rear Brake Pads (EBC vs stock)

I wanted to know if i should go with the stock pads for the rear or should i go with EBC redstuff. I have redstuff in the front and i and can really see brake dust on my LC818. So i wanted to complete the set but im hesitant about the brake dust.

Also which rotors should i go with? I bought the EBC rotors for the front and they are rusted up. Which rotors dont get rusted on the edges and center of the rotor?

Most vehicles have 80-85% of their braking bias from the front brakes. So if anything upgrade the fronts and leave OEMs for the rear.

Unless you're taking the car on a track then "upgraded" brake pads will, apart from maybe "feeling" different, do nothing for you except cost more and potentially produce more dust.
