I'm agreeing with everyone else, get your parts and go to a local shop if you are uncomfortable working on your own car. If you need to know the parts and don't want to make any mistake, I'd say contact the places people suggested (Sewell and Rock Auto) and they will tell you which pads are the ones you are looking for.
I have never been a fan of franchise auto shops from all their upselling and the occasional switch of employees and management, so I would suggest going to a reputable shop that has been around for a while.

yeah my rear calipers click when i put my car into reverse when it does that little tug when it goes into gear. i took the wheel off and looked at it and it seems as if my caliper was loose or something. cant really pinpoint it though. i had a friend resurface my rotors on my last brake job and i replaced the pads with OE pads and new shims and now it clicks, never did before previous to the last brake job.. so im guessing he either cut them wrong or too deep?

Turning rotors is often a bad idea. Unless they're properly surfaced, they'll show all the problems outlined in the video I linked. We've had a few members complain about clicking brakes too...there's a reason for the clicking and it's not because the brakes are working normally.
