Trans Am GTA 1988, single or dual pistons?

Does anybody knows, which calipers Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA 5.7l 1988 have? Single or dual calipers, at front and rear brakes?

I have "Performance Package" if that mean something

I will order pads from "Rockauto", so could anybody tell me which pads are for my GTA?

Pads are in attachment!

Thank you all in advance.

Best regards!

A quick check of your brakes will tell you all you need to know. My guess is that you have 10.5" rotors and iron, single-piston Delco-Moraine calipers all the way around. The first pic in the following link shows a Delco-Moraine caliper painted red. The 1LE versions (front alum, dual-piston and rear alum, single-piston calipers) are shown farther down in the thread. Looks like you need the top two entries in your attachment.

There is no way to see it before wednesday, but that is dead line for order

Is there any other way to know which pads are right?

IIRC, there were only 4 1LE cars produced in 88, so unless you've stumbled across one or someone has swapped 1LE brakes onto your car, you have the brakes I mention above. Note my edit there about pads.
