Galfer doesn't mention it in the documentation that comes with the rotors. Only that you will void the warranty by using other makes of pads, which I did straightaway.

So I don't know that they are or aren't meant for low speed use. They worked fine, but still made a slight scraping noise albeit less noticeable after break-in. Maybe this is a feature of all wave-style rotors, which is what I am inclined to think.

OK, This is a fairly old thread, but I am in the market for rotors right now. The prices for a couple of pounds of metal seem extreme.

I've pent some time looking. I have to ask, is there a cross reference for what year brake disks fit other years? I thought I saw it somewhere that the rotors swap accross '87~'94.

BTW - My Blackbird makes that same scraping noise when I apply the brakes.

Try these, they are great!!! Had them on for a year now and no problems.
