Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about Jake’s front disc brake kits for Club Car DS or Precedent carts? Here are the most common fitment and install questions.
Which Club Car models fit these Jake’s front brake kits?
This collection includes Jake’s front disc brake kits for Club Car DS (1981–2008) and Club Car Precedent family carts, including Precedent/Tempo/Onward (2004-up). Always match the kit to your cart’s model/year and suspension setup.
Do you have options for lifted and non-lifted Club Car carts?
Yes. This collection includes kits for stock height (non-lifted) setups and kits designed to work with lift styles such as long travel, spindle lift, and A-arm lift configurations (depending on your cart year/model).
What’s the difference between long travel, spindle lift, A-arm, and non-lifted brake kits?
Non-lifted kits are designed for stock suspension height. Spindle lift, A-arm lift, and long travel kits are engineered to fit the geometry and clearance needs of those specific lift styles. Choose the kit that matches the lift on your cart.
What’s included in a Jake’s front disc brake kit?
Jake’s front disc brake kits typically include hydraulic front brake components such as rotors, calipers, mounting brackets, hydraulic lines, and the required mounting hardware for a complete front disc conversion.
Does this upgrade affect the rear brakes or the parking brake?
These are front-wheel hydraulic brake upgrades. They do not convert the rear brakes and typically do not affect the rear parking brake.
Do Jake’s front brake kits improve stopping power?
Yes. Hydraulic front disc brakes provide stronger, smoother braking than factory setups—especially on lifted carts, higher-speed builds, and carts with larger tires.
Do I need special wheels for a front disc brake conversion?
Many front disc brake kits require adequate wheel clearance for the rotor and caliper. Some setups recommend 10-inch or larger wheels. Always verify the wheel clearance requirements shown on the specific product listing you’re ordering.
How do I choose the correct kit for my cart?
Confirm your cart model (DS or Precedent), year range, and whether the cart is non-lifted, spindle lift, A-arm lift, or long travel. Then select the matching kit. If you’re unsure, message us through site chat before ordering.
