CONTACT SCOTTYB. I JUST ORDERED A FRONT AND REAR HYDRAULIC DISC BRAKE KIT FOR MY CART FROM HIM. MOST OF THE BRAKE KITS OUT THERE ARE BY JAKES WHICH ONLY FIT A FEW OF THEIR LIFT KITS. THE MECHANICAL DISC KIT IS FOR THE REAR. BUT, SCOTTYB IS SETUP WITH A COMPANY THAT DOES ALL FOUR CORNERS LIFTED OR NOT.

The front wheel on my workhorse pictured below.

They do make an add on 2 wheel front kit but we feel that simply replacing the rear cable & drum set up with rear hydraulic discs produces a much more positive and stable stop in hilly terrain. I have gotten some rave reviews on the rear only setups as well as the 4 wheel kits.
