Has anyone installed the ACDelco Durastop Ceramic Wave II Brake Pads? If you have how do you like them? Lastly, did you use the stock rotors? I plan to replace my brake pads soon and am leaning twards the ceramic pads! Ken Fitchner has all parts 10% off at this time so I want to get them before the sale ends (through July) if in fact they are a worth while investment over the stock brake pads.

I installed the Ceramic Pads and new rotors 3K miles ago.
They have greatly reduced the dust on the Vert's wheels. :cool:
I probably would not take to ceramic pads racing, but they are great for a daily driver. I got the pads and rotors from Ken.
Notice how clean the calipers are.

Just bought them from Ken ...I went with the Eradispeed enhanced rotors too.I'll post when installed:D

I've heard others say, who ran them on stock rotors, they were just about the same or a little worse braking than stock. But they did produce a lot less brake dust... they dust white/clear so you can hardly tell there is dust there. Most people buy them for less dust.

I have used the Ceramics for about 6 months now with the Baer Eradispeed rotors. I am completely happy with the pads, NO Noise, very little dust, and no noticeable difference in stopping power over stock. I run high and low speed AutoX and the pads stand up fine. Go for it, you will not be sorry. :yesnod:

I've had them on the front for about 1k miles. If they dust, I can't see it! Braking isn't as sharp when you stab the pedal, but I don't think overall braking is worse or better.

From what I gather, the Raybestos QS pads from your local parts store are just as good and less money.
