Does anyone suggest a better product?

My track car came with some similiar pedals; I did not think I wanted them, as my 1984 911 track car was easy to heal 'n toe.
But, they work fine and so I am keeping them.
One think I hate is that they are slippery when wet, and though I rarely track in the wet (in my car; student cars are another story), I think they would be dangerous in a street car.
Just a thought.

I have Rennline ( www.rennline.com ) pedals and love em. The only thing I didn't like about the stock set up is the "hard edge" of the rubber. While heel and toeing sometimes my foot would just "fall off" the edge. Hasn't happened so far on the new ones. They also have pedals with "wings" as described above.

I just installed a set of racing pedals and footrest on mine.

I checked around and found this site. They are much thicker than another set I bought and sent back.
I am very happy with them so far and they really look good.

I have stock pedals and have had no problems with them. On track weekends, I'll get down there once and sand them down real good to rough them up - after all, they are ten years old!

Sorry, too Ricey for me, every punk with a Civic has them. What I find funny is the difference in cost.
Aluminum pedals for other cars are around $30.
They may look nice but I like the feel of the stock ones. Chris

Porsche factory race cars often come with the rubber pedals from the street version because drivers have wide differences in their preferences and change to their favorite set-up anyway.
I have used the Rennline pedals on several cars and obviously like them a lot. No slip wet or dry. The Rennline pedals replace the brake (and clutch) rubber pedals, but mount on top of the accelerator, making the pedals perfect for me when doing "heel and toe". You may or may not want a pedal with a "wing" for the accelerator, depending on your foot size, etc.
