The Critic

I am posting this in all of the tech forums. Is anyone using the Adaptive One brake pads from NAPA Auto Parts? I need to do a brake job this Saturday and these or the Raybestos Professional Grade ceramics are the only pads that I can get locally. I will be pairing them with the Raybestos Advanced Technology rotors.
I have only found a few reviews of these pads online and they have all been very positive, especially with regards to stopping power and noise. Right now, I'm leaning towards them (over the Raybestos Professional Grade Ceramics, despite the significantly higher price) as they feature NU-CAP's NRS technology for the backing plate and the NU-LOK style shims. I am asking if anyone has any experience with the Adaptive One pads as it has a rather odd design. It uses different compounds for the inner and outer pads:

Thanks in advance.
