i use them on my drift car-awesome.

How good is the rotor wear?

rotor wear is even - best street pads i have ever used - handles the occasional track days with no problems of fading!!!

i never would have guessed they made them for our cars - although i can find any front pads for the 71-74 charger

Call these guys at 800-733-8380 and they'll check your application. I plugged into their website inquiry form a '79 Diplomat since I'm using stock Mopar calipers.
