Rear Pad Fitment issues

[BigAirSkier1580]

I've got a '95 Talon TSi AWD. Build date of March 1995. My rear pads are gone, and I went to autozone to pick up some cheap pads to throw on quick.

I come home, go to put them on this AM, and they are not the right ones. They are too big.

Part number is D383. I've searched the parts, and basically all the part numbers per autozone are interchangable depending on year build date.

What pads fit my car?

Do you have the vented rear rotors?

No. Solid.

In what dimension are they too big?

Can you be sure that you were given the correct part number? It's almost part of the job at auto parts houses to try to slip you a different part without detection.

They are too long. The part number they gave me is the part in their database for my car. I looked on their website, and basically, all signs are pointing to D383. Which is the part I've got.

I believe that's the right part number. The only explanation I can think of is that the wrong parts are in the right box.

See though, I've looked at pictures on Advanced Auto's site. And d383 looks exactly like the pads I have. They give dimensions as well, and they are the same. Then though the dimensions for d532 are more suited towards my rear brakes. But Autozone lists d532 as for pre 11/94 build dates. My car has a production date of March 1995. Is there a chance that I still somehow have the pre 11/94 brakes?

The pre 11/94 brakes have a vented rotor. My understanding is that swapping involves the caliper, bracket, rotor and pads. I can't see how you would have a solid rotor and pre-11/94 calipers and pads.
