Re: Golf cart disk brakes
I have BU's kit on the front of my Club Car with a 6 inch A Arm lift. On mine the 8 inch rim will not fit. I also had to put on wheel spacers.
The front brakes are great. I like the looks of this kit better than mine. BU's kit was $500.00. At $750.00 for all four, that sounds like a good deal. With mine, the cart pulls a little to the left under hard braking. The pedal acts like a older car with out power brakes. I do like them, however, I would not spend the money on BU's kit again. If I did not already have these, I would try them. If anybody gets this set, please let us know how it works. Last edited by WW; 07-29-2007 at 03:29 PM.. |

Re: Golf cart disk brakes
?
So what you're saying it didnt help? That cant be. Unless the brake pads that came with the kit are garbage. Im real interested in the 4 wheel setup, should make a huge difference. You need whoa after adding all that go. |

Re: Golf cart disk brakes
Has anyone looked at using motorcycle rear brake calibers, you'll have to make custom discs but i think it can be done. When im done my cart build me and a friend are going to try making them.

Re: Golf cart disk brakes
That's an option to be addressed, keep us posted on the advances on that project.
I am about to contact this people regarding those brakes, but they are somehow expensive for us! |

Re: Golf cart disk brakes
Is there any cars that use the 4x4 bolt pattern?Then you wouldnt have to make custom rotors.You would just have to run some big a$$ wheels.

Re: Golf cart disk brakes
If you remember my Yamazuki project I put a 500cc quad 4X4 under a G9 cart. It has front discs and a rear solid axle with a cable operated drum brake.
This is what I took off. These are on the front and holding up Ok so far. Even with new pads and shoes a stop from 50 mph was nothing to brag about and sometimes brought the pucker factor into play. Following ya'lls lead hear I got some brake catalogs from my parts place and started my research. I came up with a 8 1/2" rotor and a Prelude caliper with E brake that fit inside my rim, although I am running 12" rims on it. I did have to redrill the rotor due to the 4 on 90mm pattern. The master cylinder was a piece of cake after I read how some of you did it. Cable operated to the brake pedal. I haven't finished it yet and might need more throw from my pedal. As soon as I finish the Club Car project and get the Yamazuki back together I am going to start searching for a rotor and caliper to fit in a 8" rim. Even 4 wheel hydraulic drum that would fit in a 8" rim would be better than stock wouldn't it? |

Re: Golf cart disk brakes
Caddyman, If I remember correctly, I think I did see a 4 on 4 pattern but the rotor diameter was way big.
I'll check again tonight. |
