Default Thoughts on numeric pedals?

I’m looking into new pedals and want to know if anyone has the numeric pedals and what you think of them? Thanks!

I have some very similar to the numerics and I love them. I makes heal toeing very easy. the numerics just seem a bit pricey to me when there are other options out there that look just as nice, made as well, and are much cheaper.

I have them and enjoy them, it does help with heel toe. Replacing a plastic hinge with a bearing did smooth the action out and is one less thing that could fail unexpectedly.

They r meh for the money. I dont think they help much with heal tow. I should have bought the rennlines. The pad fits flat on the plasiic clutch pedal but i had to grind the hell out of my break pedal to get it to seat correctly. There is not enough relief in the back of the pad to deal with the casting on the metal pedal.

I have them, they’ve been in the car since December 2021. I like them. They are definitely on the expensive side, but the quality is second to none. The black anodized finish hasn’t worn off at all with about 1,000 miles on the car with them installed.

The installation is a little awkward to lay in the footwell upside down and get the set screws in behind the brake and clutch, but once they are on and tightened down they aren’t going anywhere. I ordered them at the same time as the short shift kit (which I cannot recommend any more highly) and got a little bit of a discount.

so you got the numeric short shift kit as well? Been thinking about that as well. Did you stick with the stock shift **** or switch to something else?

I have stock pedals on my 996, but I have the Rennline adjustable pedals on my 951 and they are fantastic. I will probably add them to my 996 in the future. And at $330 less than Numeric I think the chose is easy, at least for me.

I have the rennlines. Been in my car for 15+years. Work great and durable as hell.

I have the Carbon Fiber kn0b and it’s still in pretty decent shape, so I stuck with that. My stock shifter boot is really stiff, so I just bought a Blackforest Industries Alcantara boot to install when I get a couple hours uninterrupted.

If I was going to buy a different shirt kn0b, I’d definitely consider one from BFI, along with the X97 997 **** that is just fantastic, but super duper expensive unless you get lucky.
