Bendix rotors

Has anybody used Bendix front rotors (2wd for me) and if so, I'd like your opinion on them as far as fit, finish, and wear. I found a pair for a ridiculously cheap price shipped to the house (<$80). I've had such great luck with the OEM's I hate to change but the price for the pair is almost too good to pass up.

Don't hate me Jack--LOL.

Used them on my GMC no problems.My F 250 hasn't had any real brake issues so I can't give a good answer on it to a Ford application

Have used many of them in the past with good results but not on a 6.0.
One of the shops I worked at had it's own parts house. Was all they used was bendix.

Tim, I've used them on cars and a 1/2 ton Chebby with no problems. What'cha got to lose at that price? If they're new I'd use them.

I scooped them up. $200 cheaper than the cheapest pair of motorcraft I could find. 210K on the OEM's with one true up at 108K. Didn't want to go through turning them again only to be too thin and being stuck with bending over to the local dealer for a set.

You're right, Mike. Not much to lose at that price. Thanks to all that replied.

Well, as I suspected it was a "too good to be true deal". The seller says there is a "mistake" in the warehouse quantity and they're unable to ship the listed part (they offered 4 for sale). They want to substitute a Raybestos 680215 "like" product instead or refund my money. I responded that if they wanted to ship a like product to please provide a very specific brand and part number or that they could substitute with the Raybestos 680215 specifically and that would be acceptable. What do yall think?

Exactly, Danny, that's why I asked them to be very specific. A fleetpride store is the actual lister and the email has a fishy smell to it, so I ask them to be VERY specific with what they want to substitute. If worse comes to worse, I'll just get a refund (they offered) and get motorcraft from Autonation.

They're shipping Raybestos rotors instead of the Bendix. I'll happily settle for that.
