Default Stupid Question --- Ceramic Pads

Got mine from GMPartsDirect.com this afternoon, and nothing on the box designates ceramic. Inside the box the pads look like normal pads and no color variation or noticable difference. How do you tell ??

Box
88909668 and 88909667

Yeah, I had the same question. I guess you just have to trust the part # on the box.

Got my fronts from Fred Beans a few moths ago. Nothing on the box saying they were ceramic either. Part # 88909667.

The part numbers indicate they are ceramic.

ceramic pads

true ceramic pads have a copper color tint instead of a silver or carbon color. I went to the locale NAPA store and purchased true ceramic pads and installed them and have driven about four thousand miles and they are great no noise and no brake dust.
