Do these look like the right brake pads?...
Ive never changed the front pads on my car before and I ordered some Hawk HP+'s. I finally got them in, but during the long time that it took them to arrive, the dealer told me that they had shipped me the wrong pads ( non-turbo when I wanted turbo?...Is there even a difference? ). Anyways, on the site I ordered from, there wasnt even an option for turbo/non...All that you can choose from it 86-91 front/rear.
So anyways, now Im just a little nervous and wanted to know what you all thought.

There is a difference (kinda). Some N/A's had single pot front calipers. Other N/A's (like my 1991) had 4 pot front calipers just like the one on the TII.
Unfortunately, Its been 2 yrs since I did my brakes, so I cant remember exactly what they look like.

Bolts? 
You mean the pins? The springs go through the inner, and the pin goes through part of the spring, and the pins go through the holes at the outer edges

Thanks for the help guys.
How important is that anti-squeal compound? I changed the brakes on my girlfriends car and didnt use it and her brakes dont squeak at all...

I've never seen the "springs" on the bottom of the pads, especially the stock ones. Application of the anti squeal solution sure can't hurt, but make sure the metal backing plates, springs, and pins all are in good condition.
I believe the '93/95 have those springs though.

I just thought those were the wear indicator things that squeal.

yeah those little sping type things are wear indicators. They'll howl like mad once your pads wear down to where they should be replaced.
I like the wa the 4 pot was designed. Very easy to change pads, unless you are unlucky like me, and one caliper was completley frozen from corrosion.
