try tirerack....

Last set of pads I bought for my 2000 cobra R front brake kit was $89US I
think. Even the brembo pads at list aren't as much as you're talking
about.

Everyone's mantra should be "Ommmmm.... Never go to the dealer
Ommmm...". TireRack is the way to go. Got 4 new rotors and all brake
pads for $500 for the '03 Cobra. Only problem with TR pads is the spring
clips don't come with, and OF COURSE one of them broke when I pulled 'em
off. Ford couldn't (wouldn't?) sell spring clips separate from an axle
set of pads at $100! Solved that one at the local NAPA for $13.

I'm trying sets of the new Monroe (God help me!) Premium pads.
$140 Can or about $120 U.S. All the clip hardware seems to be
included along with the anti-squeel stuff. The little square
tool to rotate the rear pistons was about $20 Can. One thing
that is odd is how small the pads are on one set. Tiny, actually.

The rears ARE pretty damn small. Even as bad as they are, stock Cobra
brakes are still better than S281 (SCARY!). Next time I do brakes, which
is probably every 30-35K judging by past and recent experience, I'm
doing the calipers and lines as well.

Let us know how those Monroe's work. The Hawk GPS are good but noisy.

www.fordpartsonline.com lists the fronts for $155.36 front and $65.46 rear
(US $, assuming they are the same as the Cobra or Bullitt - no seperate ting
for a late model Mach-1)
