Hi, I have searched for a while, but still can not find an answer to my question. I need to order brake pads, and according this site, I am supposed to order EBC FA197HH. But when I look at pictures, there are different models? I have ordered http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006B28206/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for the front and http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00666FEKS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
for the rear, but the current ones look like

Did I order the wrong parts? They both have the same model number?

Don't worry about the stock pictures; for parts like that Amazon often has the wrong pic. If you ordered FA197HH's, you got the right kind.

haha, yea the brakes were the correct ones. The pictures were wrong. I just changed both of mine. I have to clean the front brake caliper's pistons soon though. It was hard to push in.
