Just picked up the 2001 GM Performance Parts Catalog and it contains a "new" line of ACDelco brake pads. They offer two versions: DuraStop Performance and DuraStop Ceramic Friction. I was wondering if anyone has tried a set of either of these out and if so, how would you rate them compared to the Performance Friction Carbon Metallics?

I don't know about the DuraStop pads. But the Delco 1LE pads. Are over $100.00

"DuraStop" brand pads, although say ACDelco on the box, in my opinion, are not that great. There is a difference between Durastop, and OEM, both by ACDelco. If you want GM pads, try and get the OEM pads. Could also try Raysbestos. Thats what I use and I like them.
