To update the situation, I talked with my local Ford dealer about the various brake situations. This is the information I gathered.
The E1 SVT shares the same front caliper as the Cougar (same part number) yet the the regular Contiques and Cougars use the same pads (same part number) Put 2 and 2 together and the E1 SVT uses the same pads as the Cougar and regular Contours. The part number for the E1's and regular Contique's are different, my understanding is because of some wear sensor on the front pads, to which I have never seen. I also have a schematic from Ford on the rear brakes which show 2 different sets of pads. One set with wear sensors and one set without. Go figure, haven't seen wear sensors on the rear of Contiques either. Maybe a Mondeo part.
