Default G22E better braking ideas?

2006 G22E "limo" w a Jakes 3" lift, 20" tires and a Plowman Riot Kit.
Cart runs great and I'm pleased with the Riot Kit. Now I need to figure out if I can improve the braking. I've installed new shoes and springs, cleaned up the drums and adjusted according to the manual.
It's a big rig, and I can hit 27mph in the Alltrax "normal" mode but I'd sure like to improve the stopping power over the stock set up.
Any ideas?

Following! I have noticed my breaking is less than desirable!
Thanks.

The ausco rear disc brake kit definitely helps. Front discs are available too.

Thanks Cgtech.

Any experience with or impressions of the ausco kit? I checked Jake's for the front disc kit, bit it doesn't seem compatible with the Jake's 3" spindle lift I currently have on the cart.

I have them on the back of my cart in the pic to the left. Their performance much better than stock, with less pedal effort. 2 drawbacks- they dont auto-adjust, as they wear, you will have to adjust your pedal. They will squeak every few years & will need a clean & lube.

Thanks again Cgtech! I think I'll give them a try. Was the install difficult?

Pretty easy, your install will actually be a little easier than mine. You can just remove your hubs to allow removal & install, I had to slide my axle shafts out.
