Anybody have experience with WBR brake pads?

Anybody have experience with WBR ceramic brake pads? I'm comparing the price / quality versus Carquest for a friend of mine. Want to give the best knowledge.
Noise & stopping power & pedal feel are my main concerns. Thx

WBR (world brake resources) used to be Worldpac's house brand of brake pads. They arent great pads. If looking at the Carquest lineup, the platinum professional pads are absolutely awesome

So, I assume they're a low-mid grade pad when compared to Carquest? Maybe comparable to Carquest Gold? Or, lesser than that?
Thanks for response.

I'd call them somewhere between a gold and a silver. When they came out the price point to us was 21.95 for semi met and 23.95 for ceramic. I used one set on a beater and wasnt thrilled

@The Critic got me a set to try out on a Forester that was sold a few months after I installed them. They were for the rear and seemed to work OK.
