You get the pads to match your calipers..73 came with pin, has the two long stainless bolts/rods that run through the calipers .



I searched high and low a few years ago looking for a "better" pad than the standard issue that everyone listed.... Finally ran across Wagner Thermo Quite  MX39...They were listed at Oreilly's as semi metallic.  Fit was right on....time will tell how good they are but the box says Made in USA, for what that's worth.


ROCKAUTO has a good deal

Here is a good over view of performance pads. Won't help much with origianl E body pads, but could be motivation to upgrade to a caliper that can use differing compounds.
