Re: Disc brakes front or rear?
If you are going to add disc brakes you want them in the front for sure. Cars do most of their braking with the front brakes because all of the weight shifts to the front wheels when you are under braking. Carts with rear only brakes cannot stop very fast without dragging the rear tires for the same reason.

Re: Disc brakes front or rear?
That is the only kit I know of. You might be able to make your own kit.

Re: Disc brakes front or rear?
In any 4 wheel vehicle the front brakes will do about 70% of the stopping. If you have rear wheel brakes only -- in reality you only have about 30% of the needed ability to stop. That's why a cart only goes 12 - 15 mph. At faster speeds when you stop with rear brakes only -- the weight transfers to the front lifting the rear and the wheel lock up and it slides as the nose of the vehicle dips down. I put Jakes front brakes on my cart and have about 80% of the stopping power I'd like. I'm working to put a full hydraulic 4 wheel system on my setup. 4 wheel disc brakes will give me 100%stopping power.

Re: Disc brakes front or rear?
I think cartspartsplus did this custom job. I emailed them. I dug up some old threads about front disc brakes. I bet there would be more interest than just myself.
