Default Ordering brake pads, need help!

I am trying to order some brake pads from GMPartsDirect. My question is are they GM Ceramic pads? I put in my year of car and all I get is a part number but no description that says they are ceramic. Are they all ceramic? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

I'm trying to find my receipt but not having any luck. The OEM pads are not ceramic. I bought a set of ceramic quiet stops from a local autoparts store.

The Hawk street performance pads are the ones I got after I did the research on the forum. Not that expensive either!

The ceramic part numbers are:
88909667 - Front
88909668 - Rear

I bought mine from Fred Beans. I think they are currently selling a front and rear set for something like $101 shipped.

Is the number you tried 610.495.1700? That is the number listed on Gene's email.

Get yourself a set of Rayobestos Quiet Stops, they are ceramic and very little brake dust. You will like them.
