My wife has been bitching at me to get rid of my stockpile of titanium and carbon fiber that's been lying in the family room...

I have the JMH pedal set from Pelican and have used them for about 2 years. I routinely autocross the car and have had no problems with them. The accelerator pedal comes with an adjustable throttle stop so that shouldn't be a problem once all is adjusted. I liked the fact they come in black for the "low-bling" look. However, over time both my clutch and brake pedal covers have started to wear and they are nice shiny aluminum underneath...

Thanks Paul. Good to hear from someone with experience with them. Looks like that is the way I will go. May go for the bling however.

Rennline will be releasing an upgraded pedal system in a couple of weeks. I hear it's a big improvement from their old system.

Wow this thread was exactly what I was looking for(searching definitely pays off!). The gas pedal is so far down compared to the brake that I can't seem to catch it with the side of my foot (and my foot is surely wide enough!).

One question. I see about pressure or tension on the cable and wonder what some of you are using for a pedal stop? I'd rather not go with an aftermarket pedal set if I dont need to (no need for a larger width pedal) but I dont want to cause any uneeded stress on the cable!

Why not just have the existing brake pedal lowered so its level with the gas pedal? Its an easy fix and you don't need to buy new pedals to Ball/Side of Foot (aka Heel/Toe).

Am I missing something or is it called Heel Toe. I use my Toe on the brake and my heel on the pedal. I am not sure why you would need the extension pedal. I just push with my heel as I brake with my Big toe???????????? I guess there are different strokes for different folks...........

The main thing is we all do it every time we drive. that is the only way it will come naturally. Left foot braking is another nice tool that takes a little practice. Both skills add a ton of enjoyment to the spirited driving experience.

Joe,
What size shoe do you wear? Sadly, when my big toe is on the brake, I can't touch the accelerator with my heel.

I'm short with small feet

I've tried to use the heel/toe but I find I have much more control over brake pressure and throttle blip with the side of my feet. Ball of the foot on the brake gives a much more consistent pressure for me.

Does anyone have a quick how-to on brake pedal adjustment?

Heel-and-toe is really a misnomer. You're actually supposed to use the sides of your right foot to apply brake and throttle pressure. Some people may use their heel, but mine is not sensitive enough to make good use of the accelerator and the inherent lack of leverage when pressing it only an inch or so away from the lower pivot point.

I use side of the foot and a wing pedal too. A shame they went out of business. IMO the vosstok is the best out there now.

I too would rather adjust the brake and clutch towards the firewall and leave the accelerator where it is because being 6'4" the pedals already feel like they are in my lap.

I think it is harder if you are tall and your knees have to be bent at more of an angle.

If you adjust the brake pedal remember to also check the adjustment of the brake light switch so that your brake lights come on and go off as they should.

+1 on the wings pedal.

rennline just came out with a new improved version of their pedal set. Anyone heard anything about these?
