questions about wilwood pads

I searched the forum with no luck so i hope someone can help. I have an 84 c10 that needs a brake job. For the first time in... ever... I have a little extra cash to put towards my truck. I was wondering if the wilwood 150-8939K pads are 1) worth buying over random pads at the local parts house, and 2) will they fit factory calipers or do I have to have the wilwood dual piston d52 calipers, and finally 3) will the factory, non slotted rotors be ok?

Looking at the specs of the pads, they look like they will be worth the money.

The pads: http://www.wilwood.com/BrakePads/Bra...emno=150-8939K

Thanks in advance!

The brake pads you are after willl work with your factory calipers you have now on your truck.The wilwood d52 pads are the same dimension as your factory brake pads.

Your factory brake rotor will work to.You will need only the brake pads and the price on the pads are $53.00 let me know if you want to get some you can call us 805 485-0382

Re: questions about wilwood pads

Thanks for the reply. Too bad I didn't know this sooner :/ I looked more online and some places said that they wouldn't work so I decided not to risk it. Instead I went and purchased some Hawk Performance HPS pads. Hopefully they will be better than the bottom of the barrel NAPA pads I usually get.

PS: Justin, I sent you a PM yesterday as well.
