We present stellar rotation curves and velocity dispersion profiles for 104 quiescent galaxies at z = 0.6-1 from the Large Early Galaxy Astrophysics Census (LEGA-C) spectroscopic survey. Rotation is typically probed across 10-20 kpc, or to an average of 2.7R(e). Combined with central stellar velocit...
