well either way, for heel-toe applications it seems to be better than stock.

they have the gas pedal upside down, but all in all i think they look nice, and should be quite functional. I have a big foot though and was wondering under braking if i am going to nail the gas pedal too.

I dont believe so, or should i say I hope not. I think you remove yours and replace with these, but I guess that is also why I have not bought these yet. I was hoping someone has these.

You do have to drill into your pedals to mount these. This is the only way to mount aftermarket pedals to insure they don't come off. They are machined to be very grippy so your foot doesn't slip. I have a size 12 and have no problems with the gas being too big - it is perfect for heel/toe. Another nice thing about them is you can fine tune the height relationship between the gas and brake to get your car setup perfect for heel/toe. These pedals are made specifically for our cars.

Just take your time when you install the pedals, and you'll be fine. It helps to have an auto center punch, as well. Punch and drill a hole, then hold the pedal down by using a screw and nut. Then punch the next hole, remove the pedal, and drill again. Repeat this for all four holes so that you ensure that everything will line up correctly. I love these pedals... they are very grippy.

I have these pedals and they have been great. Very grippy brake and clutch, but the gas is smooth to help with heel-toe. The smoothness of the gas pedal has never caused my foot to slip off the gas, whether driving easy, autocrossing, or on a road course. Overall, I've been very happy with them.

The brake, clutch, and footrest have sharp raised edges that are machined to give great grip. The gas pedal is machined to be smooth so that your foot will slide over it. Look closer at the pic above and you can see the raised areas around the perimeter of the pedals, as well as around the holes.
