My 03 SE3 went thru the same thing at about 25K miles - but the dealer told my wife $890 for front pads & rotors!
But if you have any mechanical know how, I went to a different dealership (can't find parts anywhere else) bought new pads ($70) - the rotors would have been $180 for the pair, but since she didn't grind them and they aren't warped, I ended up not even having them turned, and did hands down one of the easiest brake jobs ever - for $70!
