AFAIK there are no other differences. What I've been told by those who should
know, is that the unused portion of the pads will eventually "meet in the
middle" and keep the brakes from working. Should be easy enough to work around
this problem, but I've never tried it. Bought a set of 11" rotors from Rimmers
(complete with pads) at VTR in Breckenridge for a quite nice price, but haven't
needed them yet.
TR3 brakes have such a huge swept area that I would feel safer running "too
thin" original rotors than messing around with rotors that didn't fit, anyway.
I've seen people run original rotors down to less than 1/4" thickness, and
apparently never have a problem. Looked almost like motorcycle rotors.
