Default Brake Pads

when i bought my car the guy gave me a set of rear brake pads from ACdelco... when i change them i need to get a front set. My question is are these good pads to work with the stock system? has anyone tried a more aggresive pad? thanks

I had OEM grade pads then replaced them with come Semi-metalic ones from Vette Brakes and Products. I did not notice any real difference because the rest of my brake systems is stock grade.

I replaced all mine with ceramic (brand name Ceramix) pads from NAPA..have had good luck with them...I also have slotted rotors...aside from the performance aspects the dust these ceramic pads create doesnt seem to show as much...its a lighter color...

They'll work ok, depends on how hard you drive etc, but they probably will dust up real quick???
