Anyone know if any other brakes shoes will fit a 2001 Gem E825? I don’t want the disk brakes. They always seem to be out of stock at NEV Acc. ---

You need to call/email NEV regarding the disc brake kits. I called, and was told they make them up in sets and it took a couple weeks until they emailed that the kits were available. Best mechanical upgrade to a GEM. ---

I second this. Call nev and get on the list. Best upgrade I’ve done to date! Absolutely worth the wait! ---

I’ve got relatively new shoes and actually full brakes from when I upgraded to disc’s if you’re interested but also recommend going to disc upgrade. ---

Unrelated… I have a 2008 GEM E2, new calipers w/pads, 2 new 9.21” rotors and 2 new spindles, all from Polaris, via my local GEM dealer. Are there any curve balls coming at me once I receive the parts and start the work? Thanks, Dave ---

Why do you regret the brake shoes? You need brake shoes for the rear brakes. Please let me know. Scott
