Question Racing Pedals off ebay???

Is it ok if i get cheap $10 racing pedals off ebay??? (Razo knock-offs...RAZO cost too much )

Will they feel the same as "MAIN BRAND" pedals???

depends on the usage
the general consensus from people that race their cars is to get pedals that are mounted by drilling them onto the stock pedals (after rubber cover is removed)

a few others will tell you to use the stock pedals because you can heel-toe perfectly fine with them

and even fewer will tell you to go ahead with the pedal covers just to learn the ropes but once you get more advanced/serious, get some real pedals or go back to stock


IMO, if you can't afford or aren't willing to pay more than $10 for pedals...learn on the stock ones.

I've had both and I prefer stock, my feet are size 13 and I catch the brake when letting off the gas. If I was going to get them I would want a 4 pedal set so the foot rest matched.

^Ditto. My feet always get caught, even under smaller petals.

You guys do know that almost no real racers (i mean road race guys) use these, right? They're just for show. I had some on my car when I bought it, they went in the garbage a few days later.
