disc brake upgrade

COURTESYCART · 04-16-2010, 11:32 AM

not sure if this is where this is supposed to go, but thought it would get more attention here.

Has anybody tried the bisc brake conversion from ausco ameri-torque. I am thinking bout ording a few kits to try, but was wondering if they were worth the price and do they really stop better.

I put four wheeled disk on my build and it almost squats when I apply the brakes. A lot faster at stopping than my wifes cart (it has factory drum on rear only). I do not think you can be disappointed in going with disk over drum on any cart, even if it is just the rears. My two cents worth. good luck.

I am thinking about ordering a set to do kind of a review on them. I spoke with them yesterday. These are mechanical drum replacement disc brakes. I like the idea

The salesman stopped buy the shop and showed me the "brake cable actuated" disc brake set up. I was impressed to tell you the truth. The hubs alone were a nice peice! We bought a kit (for a relative of the owner) to try on the back of his ezgo workhourse (I think it was). Haven't taked to him yet to get his feelings. I thought the brake material/lining was alittle on the "thin" side. I almost bought a set for "Wilson", but he's to spoiled at is now

I'd say try one, and give your feedback...It's worth a shot.

Dave's the man again

Did you use the stock cables on the work horse?

No Scot, I didn't do the job at all, just bought the kit for him. As I recall the salesman said the stock cables work or it came with an adapter to make it work, just had to order the correct kit for the cart.
