Default Looking for new pedals

My clutch pedal is ridiculously slippery if my shoes are wet. Admittedly, some woudl argue that maybe I should buy new shoes rather than a new pedal, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a decent supplier for either new OE or good aftermarket clutch / brake pedals.

Something grippy and semi-racing would be good, but not over the top.

Thanks.

I love the Rennline Pedals, available through Pelican or at rennline.com - not cheap but they look and feed great.

I will second the recco on the Autovation pedals. Nice stuff! I have them on both the S2 and S6.

I just bought some Sparco pedal covers- very basic- aluminum w/rubber traction nubs- slightly wider than stock- I was made some simple spacers, to get the pedals closer- I can now sit a little further back in the car, &, slightly more upright- I have a Momo Comp wheel that is ~20mm closer to me- accel & brake pedals are almost 2" closer, & the clutch is almost 2.25" closer- it REALLY feels a TON better than before- I've never cared for the seating position of these cars b/c the SR feels like it's behind me (I'm ~5'9") & I also always felt a tad too laid back when my arms were at the right length- also, the clutch, was always a bitch to fully depress, when comfortable everywhere else- that's why I spaced IT a hair more- I've been working on this for a LONG time now & finally found a way to do it all fairly easily & have it all about as good as I think I can get it... IF you're taller &/or don't care about the seating position, then, none of this matters, but, I've found that these cars are really set up slightly better, for taller drivers... Not always the case, but... the Sparco covers have better traction than stock & don't look riced-out or anything... not the easiest install, b/c of the weird shape & connection of the pedal arms, but...

I'm leaning toward one of these: 944 racing pedals .

I really like the adjustable accelerator pedal.

Ahh... so they are. Stupid me didn't look closely at the dead pedal. Sorry about that.

Or you could just replace the rubber at a whopping $3.75 for both the clutch and brake pedals.

Audi TT clutch pedal cover is a direct replacement for both our clutch and brake pad covers.
