Hey reopening this threat. How did the ACDelco's pan out? I'm looking at replacing my SSEi pads with ACDelco ceramic pads and roto Thanks!

Hmm, just put Adaptive One's on my SSEi, haven't had any issues so far (like 100 miles). I'm also not going to be driving it like a nut, so....

I've had good luck with my Adaptive one pads. Low dust and they stop well. And my car has had a "track day".

What did you guys use for rotors? Just the generic Napa brand? I was running the wagner thermo quiets with higher end rotors. The pads gave a great amount of dust and the rotors still warped after a year.
