Question Stainless Rotors?

2000 F150 XLT 56K 5.4L 4X2 4 wABS 14mm lugs
Well the front rotors are worn out it is time to replace. To stainless or not to stainless that is the question. Are the stainless better than let's say Bendix's best OEM rotor. Thoughts, experiences and suggestions please.

Welcome to FTE!!

Personally they sound like a gimmick to me. I would just get some good ole fashioned rotors with good brake pads, or slotted rotors and pads.

I like the Wagner thermo quiets as my pads and I just use regular rotors.

If you do a lot of intown stop and go driving, you will go through rotors and pads at a more frequent rate.

Well I decided on standard Bendix rotors ($183/pr)and Morse ceramic pads($55/pr). 1yr replacement on the rotors and 2yrs on the pads. Will put them on Saturday.
