GEN 1 Brake pad upgrade from Ford

[pat247]

I went to the local ford store to pick up brake pads for my 2014 Raptor and was shocked when asked if I wanted standard or aggressive pads. I chose the aggressive pads that were about $30 higher in price. I've replaced pads several times and this is the first time to be offered this option. In the very near future I will be replacing rotors and pads up front and pads only in the rear. Does anyone on FRF have any input on these pads?

"Not For Vehicle Warranty Repairs, Severe Duty Pads" or
"High Level Aftermarket Spec / Non Warranty Repairs
From: 07/06/2009 To: 12/23/2014 * Not For Vehicle Warranty Repairs, Standard Duty Pads"

Usually parts that are available from parts stores dont sell real well at the dealer parts counter so they offer a somewhat cheaper alternative to try and compete

Ok mystery solved on the aggressive brake pads, they are the super duty pads, same as the Raptor pads but with a more aggressive compound. I had forgotten about these but as soon as I saw the SD in the part number I knew what they were and confirmed with the parts guy. I've been wanting to try these for a while.
