Awesome. I love the fact that they include the dead pedal. Good price for a complete, vehicle-specific, bolt-in pedal kit!

I have some from a little over a year ago when they just came out, I've had them on two cars and all I can say is space the pedals out as far from each other as you're comfortable doing


I had a lot of times when I'd trip the brake or gas while going for the other becuase I sometimes where skate shoes, and it'd make it a PITA to drive. Now with them spaced apart I have no problems


awesome pedals!!! Worth the $60 or $65 I paid for em



and to add to the better than stock pedals or not, I have never had any problems with heal-toeing with stock pedals and stock pedals work just fine.
Learn to drive and learn to adapt.
These are to have a nice metal petal that looks good, and is made for FC. Theyre a little wider, but I really don't see a huge point unless your foot is too retarded to hit two pedals at once.

Can I just get the brake and clutch pedals? I'm not particularly fond of the gas and extra pedal style...

My favorite move on the way home (only when there is no traffic):
65MPH approach to an oblique right.
at 200ft, double pedal downshift to 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st.
(yes - you can get to 1st at 20MPH if you match the revs.)
Drift the apex, straighten it out with a short shift to 2nd.
The challange is to stay in the right lane.

Mods - a smooth aluminum throttle pedal cap, and heavy duty Scotch Tread on the brake & clutch.

I found the Scotch Tread at a marine supply store.

Was afraid of that. Don't own a drill at the new house yet. Not a problem, as I'm watching over my parent's house this week while they are out of town, just means I have to wait a few days for pedal installation.

The only one you don't have to drill is the dead pedal... the holes line up with the holes that the plastic cover is snapped into.

Here are mine.. As i said, i opted fot the Turbo ones at the last minute cause some other goon here got a set of rotor ones..



Installation Notes......



1) to get the gas pedal and the dead pedal covers off, i used a dremel with a sanding drum on it and sanded the nubs off the back of the pedals that held the covers on.. a LOT easire than trying to rip them off..

Use double sided spongy tape and lay the pedals (except the dead pedal.. its good to go) on the metal pads and get them sitting right where you want them.. Make sure that the bottom mounting hole on the clutch and brake is 1cm or less from the bottom of the pedal.. (we'll cover this later). Then, take a sharpie and mark the holes.

2) Once You have the holes marked.. I used the dremel with one of those little bitty ball shaped metal cutters on it (its a 1/8 ball burr actually.. but most people wouldn't know what the f i was talking about) to make a small divot exactly in the center of the marker dots. WHY??? Cause you can't use a Nail or a punch to make a pilot mark on a pedal in the car.. it moves!!!!! Now you have a place to but your drill bit and it won't walk on you!!

3) I didn't like the idea of using all screws in the clutch and brake pedal... SO.. I noted that if you drill the bottom hole for each pedal about 1 CM from the bottom of the metal pedal pad, that you can use a nut and bolt combo there. I used two screws at the top of each pedal because there isn't a flat surface on the back for the nut to sit on.

4) The instructions tell you to use a 1/8 or smaller drill bit to drill for the screws... I snapped the first screw off in the 1/8 hole... I stepped up to the next size drill bit (whatever that is in my set) and then pre-tapped the holes with a self tapping sheet metal screw that i had in the drawer... this solved the snapping the screw problem.. still fit tight, but you can get them in without stripping the threads.

3) For the gas pedal.. I just drilled the holes the next size drill bit up from the threads on the bolts and poked 'em through and attached the nuts to the back.

NOTE.... The gas pedal and the Dead pedal must be attached with the bolts... The metal is to thin on the gas pedal for me to trust screws and the dead pedal already has the holes in it. HOWEVER.. If you use one nut and bolt in the bottom of the clutch and brake pedals.. you will be SHORT one nut/bolt combo for the gas pedal, I had a suitable replacement in the drawer, so no biggie..

AFTER... I had all the holes drilled and pre-tapped.... I painted the pedal surfaces with some flat black spray, let that dry, them mounted the pedals

USE RED LOCK TIGHT on EVERY NUT/BOLT and Screw

I found if you heat the nubs with a lighter they'll pull off leaving on the nubs if for some strange reason you want to put the stock stuff back on ever.
