Re: Brakes
This hardest part was the brake cable extensions. There are different part numbers for stock and lifted carts. The lifted carts have an extension that gets installed to "lengthen" the cables. It's a piece of aluminum that moves the attachment point closer to the rear wheels, which effectively makes the cables longer. I am glad it went with the "lifted" part number, since I have a 6" lift and it helps with the cable clearance.

Re: Brakes
AS, that is interesting, because the shopezgo website does not say anything about the lift kits or not. Or about brake cables.

Re: Brakes
Just to qualify that, if you have larger than stock tires, or more aggressive treads you're probably right. However, my well tuned drum brakes will lock up the tires at over 35 mph, with passengers, a rear seat, and the weight of two extra batteries.

Re: Brakes
Yep, mine are 22s and 23s and the drums don't do the job the discs will. Mine will pretty much lock up the 23s and everything in the cart shifts forward. Have to be careful with the cooler in the back because of the cold water...
