new member- hello all! new 08' st sport

d.mehrl

just wanted to say hello ! Picking up a new 2008 st sport in the morning ! Do they climb hills fairly good ? After break in i will do gov. adjustment also. How do you owners of these like them ? Can you get lifts, bumpers, other aftermarket "bling" for these ? How about some pictures of other "st" owners out there ! They come stock with 22" tires. Can you go bigger without getting into a lift kit ? Thanks to all, and i'l be chatten with ya's later ! Good day !

BGW

We have lot's of options for the ST Sport's. First thing you'll want is our leveling kit for the front. It adds 1 1/4" lift in the front. The largest wheels after the leveling kit you can run are 23" on 12" rims. Anything bigger will rub...

Hi Mr. Mehrl,

They climb hills great, the 350cc they come with is a nice torque monster. Most owners are happy with the engine, some want to upgrade to a big block... well, just because

You can get lots of chrome accessories, and you can steal a page or two from the automotive world to add extra special bling .

You can run 23" tall tires on 12" rims as long as you stick to 10" width.

Here is one that I built that E-Z-GO used in some of their marketing stuff:

Thanks for the info Mike and Bob. Can ya tell me, are there any magazines out there that i could subscribe to that cover our kind of buggies ?

There is one magazine that I know of, called cartwheelin.

By the way.... what are you planning to use the car for? We all may be able to help you pick out some bolt-on options to help shrink down your list

Sadly cartwheelin is now called UTVwheelin and doesnt cover golf carts
anymore...I was bummed!!!!

[QUOTE=todwil;62157]That does kinda suprise me, the market is increasing for the off-road golf car (just not the big engined cars).

I honestly have not heard of any public (non-dealer only) magazines until after cartwheelin came out. There are two dealer only magazines that cover industry news and the other is primarily for selling/buying other golf car companies.

The PGA show in Florida sends out a neat program to all of the people that are invited to attend, it has a lot of information about what each company is working on (Golf Equipment, Turf Equipment, Golf Cars, Apparel, ect...).

On a side note.... E-Z-GO is working on a N.E.V, and a hydrogen fuel-cell powered car now

I got an idea - Roady89 needs to start a BGW magazine, he's got plenty of time! LOL

Hi Mike, does the leveling make the buggy sit higher in the front than the back ? Also, can a guy use wheel spacers in order to fit wider tires ?

Our leveling kit "levels" the cart. At stock, you have about a 3 1/2" lift in front and nearly a 5" in the back. Our leveling kit adds 1 1/4" to the front and flatens out the overall stance of the vehicle. Just go to our website and see all the ST Sport pictures. You don't need wheel spacers, but if you want them, they can be added.
