Default GM rear brake pads ?

I did a search and didn't really see what i'm looking for.

For the rear pads I'm just going to go with the Stock GM pads because the stock ones I have on there create very little brake dust.

And in my search people are saying go with the GM pads but when I looked this up I see two GM part #'s which one do i want for stock replacement?

18038575 - Durastop performance rear pads $50

88899570 - GM replacement rear pads $65

Both are GM part #'s and come up on gmpartsdirect's website

Please help.
Thanks

The durastop is the "aftermarket" pad. The $65 ones are the stock replacement pads.

Also when I had my stock calipers , Inoticed that the Durastops dusted more but provided better braking levels then the stockers.

Skip the Durastop pads, they dust real bad. GM reformulated the replacement pads about a year ago.

I am a fan of OEM pads.
