Exclamation Alloy Drilled Pedals

Anyone had the chance to replace the rubber pedals with the alloy drilled pedals? Is it practical when shifting? Any pictures?

Thanks Alot

Fadzy,
I've never really used them, but I guess the alloy drilled pedals are very useful for efficient 'heel-toe' maneouvers, or what is easily described as when you use the accelarator pedal and the brake together with one leg (the right one).. This is mostly used to rev up the engine while you are decelarating in order to match the lower gear WHILE you are braking at the same time (think about it and you will see that you willhave to use the three pedals at the same time!)

Although the porsche stock pedals are very confy for such a procedure, the alu pedals are bigger in size and more fit for such.. They also eliminate the rubbery feel of the stock pedals but you have to be wearing the right shoes (no wood soles!)

***hey if you get a set, you get one for me also!**

Speedyellow 996, They are really nice, how much did you spend, coz here in Dubai they start like US$ 330.00 and they go upto US$ 550.00 for the GT2 set.

Real good looking, bet they are practical too like waz posted.

The 3 three pedals were $180 and the dead pedal was $80. you can them at: <a href="http://www.billetdesign.com/p_inter.htm" target="_blank">Billet Design</a>

They were not to bad to install, just a little drilling.

I recently installed a set of Rennline pedals in my 944, and am very pleased with the quality and design. The pedals are a little bigger than the OEM ones.

My set is the "street" version, but they even make a "race" version with a special acceleration pedal that enhances heel/toe action.

The Rennline are very high quality. I got mine off eBay for about $150 (including dead pedal).

Waz : save your money for the windscreen then.

Matthew : I found exactly like yours and they
cost 330 US$, I like them.

Ed : The RUF ones aint bad at all, a mix of
rubber & alloy gives the look as well as
the grip.

Sean : Although they look plain but I love the
brown interior of your 944, superb color.

Thanks alot guys
