Default DIY C6 Brake pads

I been thinking of changing the pads over on inbound 09 C6 to either the GM or NAPA Ceramics.
Accomplished a search but could not find a DIY although I remember reading it before.
Any difference between the GM and NAPA's?
Could someone be so kind to post the DIY link?
Thank you

Default Ceramics

Sorry i did not do the change to ceramics the first week i got my 02 and then on my 08. Did gm ceramics both times and braking was fine and dust was nil. While i washed my wheels constantly on both cars i think the brake dust slightly degraded the finish on both cars. Both had/have polished wheels. Next best mod is koni fsd's especially if you got the z51 and live up north. Think i paid $150 for front and rears from a forum vendor.
