Questions about the brake/gas pedals

[mbeach]

Do NOT use the clamp on generic pedals. They move around and pose a hazard (they have all kinds of little bolt heads that can grab a shoelace, etc.

I have switched the pedals on all of my manual transmission cars to some mid-range Sparco pedals. I can't remember the model, but they are available on eBay often, usually for less than $40. I like them because they have a little pad on the left side that makes heel-toe downwhifts easier.

They install fairly easily; remove the existing rubber pad and use each pedal as a drill template. You might have to remove metal from the pedals if they have a larger footprint than you new pedals. I've never had to do this though.

Here's a photo -these were in my S14.
I had a silver (unpainted) set in my WRX.

I still have stock pedals in the VX. I'm not doing any fancy footwork, so I haven't bothered to swap them out.

thanks for the info, Mbeach do you have any pics available? Just curious as to the look installed.

i used clip on pedals.. havent had trouble with anything catching my shoe laces, but i covered the back of the clips with e-tape to make sure.. i did run into the problem of the stock brake pedal was too small so not all the clips fit, i had to put in little pieces around the pedal to make it 'wider' this also made is so when i wear my work boots my foot catches on the brake pedal sometimes (im a size 12)
