hello people: Just wondering how many of you are using them? Besides the weight saving what else would make them any better?

I'm running them. Heat disappation is better with them too. Besides those two things, not much other than the cool, oddball factor.

4 lbs savings and that's' rotating mass.

I had them on my 78 and other than saying they were aluminum didn’t notice any difference.

The GN 8.5" rear I have on my '87 has aluminum drums. They will be replaced and available when I switch to Blazer rear discs sometime in the future.
