Default Ceramic brake pads

Hi all, it is time for me to replace my front brake pads on my 2013 Grand Sport convertible. Auto zone has a brand called Duralast Gold part number DG 1419. It is a set of 12 ceramic brake pads. The price is an unbelievable $60. Has anyone had any experience with this brand.

Not a GS or Z06 but I've been happy with their Gold products. I think you should replace on all 4 wheels though.

Here are a couple old ones to get you started:

I am on my 3rd GS and I ordered 2 front sets of the Autozone Ceramics. The rear padlets are the same as the front. I have 4 spare padlets in case of a problem for the same cost.
