Question Race pedals

He guys!

Which pedals do you guys recommend and where's a good source to find them? Are there any that are more conducive to heel toeing?(form versus function) Thanks for the help.

Cheers
Vin

Best gas pedal for heel & toeing is the Wings Engineering pedal (see Panorama or Excellence ad...) Two version to choose from: standard or extra-wide. I've tried both, and prefer the extra-wide (10 1/2 shoe size, FYI...).

Fit is excellent, no drilling required and craftsmanship is outstanding.

It will depend upon whether or not you'll be doing heel n' toe stuff. I don't have a pedal set with this capability. For aesthetic reasons, I think the TechArt pedals are the best looking, however you'll pay for it through the wallet! For TechArt stuff, I've found this site to be pretty good, as far as pricing goes:

I've been very pleased with the "competition" pedal set from AJUSA.com. Good grip even w/wet shoes and no problem to heel & toe (although I use left sole & right sole). Look good & easy install (does require drilling holes in the oem clutch & brake pedals). AJ-USA also has the same set with rubber inserts sold as "street pedals."

I use Sparco pedals. My objective was to get the gas and brake closer for side-to-side "Heel and Toe". What I really like about the Sparco is that the gas pedal mounts in such a way that I can move it closer for track days, if I wish. I have narrow feet, so the pedals need to be very close. A side benefit is that the SParco pedals only cost ~$30.
