You'll have to try and see if you can return them. Nobody here will know for sure.

It is completely beyond me why you asked for advice and then followed none of it (not one person here said go to NAPA)
 
155.00 from Olathe Toyota assuming I have the right model (4cyl not XLE)

There is however a shim kit too that you might need depending if yours are missing or damaged.

SHIM KIT, ANTI SQUEAL (FOR REAR DISC BRAKE)
Stock Code: 0494506080
$ 26.48
 
Brake job done. I had a frozen caliper and this was the cause of my frustration. I mean I had to install them when it was 17 degree outside on a drive way with a foot of snow on either side. All the parts worked well. I even installed a new caliper, 50 dollars isn't bad from autozone considering Toyota wanted 200 for new and 120 for a recondition caliper.
 
Because that is what we do here. I may not always post here, but I have been around for along time. While I appreciate everyone's opinion in the end it's an opinion. I read a lot of good things about napa parts and that is why I went with them. I saved my self nearly 400 dollars. Thanks everyone for your advice.

When you buy premium pads, anti-squeal shims arrive with the replacement brake pads.

Maybe, and Maybe they will be as good as OEM... Honda pads usually come with new shim kits. Toyota apparently do not.

Guess the whole thing is moot since the OP has it taken care of.
