Brake upgrade for EZGO with OEM type 4" lift

pvancorenland · 02-01-2019, 09:11 PM

I want to upgrade my cart to disc brakes (at least the front).
Cart: 2016 EZGO TXT
Lift: OEM 4" drop axle
Tires: 23" on 14" rims

I can't figure out if there is even a type available that works for this setup.
Any pointers would be appreciated!

I put Mazda Miata discs on mine. You will need to open up the hat a little on a lathe.
Also the holes for the studs will need to be enlarged because an EZGO has bigger ones than Mazda

I only did the rear. I have incredibly powerful brakes.
Dont waste your time on mechanical discs (Ausco). I had to adjust them as much as the stock drums. They stopped better than stock but barely.

What year mazda miata rotors did you use? I would like to try that on my cart. ☺

I'm seriously intrigued now. Did you use Miata calipers, where did you get the rest of the hardware, etc. Pictures would also be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

EDIT: I just read your signature line! Anyways, more info would still be great!

I did my leg work and found out that Fastest1 did a fantastic writeup on his rear disc brakes! It is an excellent post.....
