Front brake pads...which ones?

Hello everyone! I went to my local parts dealer to get some new front pads. I purchased the Beck Arnley pads #082-1264 which they said would fit the 4 piston calipers. Aaaaannnnd they don't. I'm thinking the ones they gave me are for the single piston? Does anyone have part numbers for the pads or pics of what they should look like?

I found these on ebay which I should be able to get locally. Will these ones work?

Beck Arnley 082 1300 Front Brake PAD Mazda RX 7 86 91 RX 7 Turbo 87 95 | eBay

Thanks guys!

The half moon shaped pads are for single piston fronts.(your purchase was wrong)
The square pads(as in your link) that have 4 holes on the outside are for 4 piston calipers.

I had the same thing happen to me. Plus, I asked to rent an outer tie rod end tool and they gave me the one for removing an inner tie rod. Local auto parts stores really disappoint sometimes...

Thanks guys. Finally got it all sorted out. It was such a headache though. First they gave me the wrong pads. Get home only to find out my calipers were toast so I ordered two rebuilt ones. Get those home and install everything only to have the bleeder screw **** up. Waited a couple days just for the parts store to get another caliper in. Oh man am I happy to have it all done and have my car back on the road. Local auto parts stores cannot be trusted!!! (at least where I am lol)
