Summit Racing performance brake pads

Has anyone used the performance pads from summit? they are only $40 for the fronts and I think $35 for the rear. how would these compare with say EBC Green Stuf?

Yeah I just checked them out. I didn't get a pat number from the guy but they are on the web too. onley the front come up on the web but the salesman told me about the rear pads too. they are 100% graphite. I don't know anything about them but I need brakes . I wa going to but the EBC Green stuff. think I should try these? I don't want an OE replacment

Let us know how they work. I had my brake pads replaced by a shop which I now refused to go back to for other reasons and I'm sure they used NAPA crap. Less than 10000 miles later I'm getting a squeel already
