We provide observational constraints on disk galaxy evolution for a sample of 28 local edge-on early-type (S0–Sb) disk galaxies. We do this in two ways: (i) we use simple dynamical modelling techniques to constrain their stellar and dark matter content (Williams et al. 2009) and (ii) we compare the zero points of the Tully-Fisher relations (TFRs; Tully & Fisher 1977) of the spirals and S0s.
