Not to concerned about quality, they will outlive the life of my 02.
I see front rotor set with pads for $57 on ebay, think I can find cheaper?

 

Try Amazon. I picked up Beck Arnsley pads front and rear a few weeks ago for less than $15.00 a set. They were same part as sold $35.00 on other places - I just got luck and found clearance. I see Centric brands and also Bosh brands right now on Amazon for under $20. Search on Amazon and you will find deals

 

I got a front set of brakes with rotors from Rockauto for a deal. Perfect fit and work great.

 

Cool, I shall check them leads. Thanks

 

I bought and installed drilled and slotted rotors with carbon pads all round from a Chinese seller on ebay. That was over 4 years ago and they still stop the car very well. Only compalint I have is the brakes tend to be loud when stopping hard from anything over 50.
Easy install with the fancy tool to screw in the rear pistons. Took around 2-3 hours. One old rotor was being difficult and I had to break out my FBH!

 

Everyone seems to be fairly close in price.

Are the rotors/pads cross compatible with any of the ford models?

 

I heard that there are parts from the Lincoln that cross over but I personally don't know.
