I have a more general question to ask, and maybe this isn't the right board, but seeing that some experts are hanging around (and I sincerely appreciate that !), I'll ask away.
This is a 2002 Club Car DS that I got real cheap, so that I could pour buckets of money into it to make it "better", LOL.
The question is the brakes and tires. Right now it has a D&D 42A high torque motor, but brakes and tires are still stock. One rear brake locks up early but hopefully some adjusting or cleaning or turning or new shoes will fix that. I drive this around thru the woods on smooth but steep dirt trails, and on pavement. But never on the highway. Going down some of the dirt hills makes me pucker when that rear wheel(s) lock up, so I have to be careful about not doing anything stupid. It has the standard 8" wheels with 18" tires. I've got a new pair of 8" x 20" tires to put on the rear. In the back of my mind, I know that putting front disks on is the right thing to do (and I will probably do that eventually). But the front disk brake conversion really snowballs, doesn't it? You have to go to 10" wheels and a lift kit along with the disk brake kit.
All this adds up, and I do believe that the prices are reasonable, but I am wondering if there is a way to improve the brakes, at least temporarily, without going the full 10" wheel and lift kit route.
All comments are appreciated.
Thank you,
Lloyd
