lifted precedent w/ offroad tire or 12' rim w/ lowprofile

torey3 · 02-04-2009, 09:03 PM

Hello all. I am looking at 2 gas club car precedents, one is lifted w/ jakes 6" lift and off road tires and the second is not lifted but has 12" rims with low profile tires. I don't know that I really need the lift, but I do like the idea of more speed. How much speed will I lose with the non lifted cart? Can I make up with it else where, Im only needing 20-25 mph. Do you think the handling and braking suffers with the lifted models?
Thanks!

So what do you think of handling and braking between the lifted and non lifted?

well you wouldhave to drive both of those carts to find out. in my case my lifted 98 does not handle as good as the non lifted 94 I have. my 94 is running 205 65 10 tires on it so it is slightly bigger than stockers. teh lifted cart is faster but the non lifted is a bit quicker off the line.

mine are ds carts. if going in the woods i take the lifted. for street cruising I like the stock height one. more stable and easier to get on/off of for the wife and old people.

also we keep the lower one at the campground most of the year so the choice is simple!
