Default Grippy pedals for better healntoe

Anyone have a suggestion for good, grippy pedals?

I have some trouble heel-n-toeing, it is kinda OK on track, but once in a while I stab next to it. On the street it is impossible..I like to practice on my way to work .

So I need a wider throttle pedal, ideally also a bit higher than stock..
Rennline looks like they have a solution, but they don't look that grippy, anyone using them?

Thanks!

I installed the Rennline pedals with the black aluminum track mats and I could not be happier. Even street driving it is no problem now heel and toeing (PCCB).

+1. I've used the Rennline pedals on 3 Porsches in a row. The gas pedal with spacer plate, works great for heel toe with PCCB brakes.

Agree with others on the Rennline gas pedal - with rubber grips. I've found the lifter plate and pedal combo to work well with my 997 C2S and have an order in for the same on my GT3. I don't add the pedal extensions because (to me) it puts the gas pedal too close to the brakes, but others use the extensions and it works for them. There are some "close out" pedals on Ebay where you can save a few bucks.

Good luck.

I've used Rennline pedals. I like them. But I found these guys here recently and decided to give them a try. I like them. They are light, to me, they are more grippy, and I think they are cheaper than the alternatives. You can get different surfaces and different shapes for the throttle (depending on how much help you need). https://rennlist.com/forums/997-gt2-...nt-2010-a.html

This is why I love this forum, thanks guys.

Atleung, same here, Rennline seemed OK, but my last GT3 came with what looks like SRP Racing.
Super grippy. I had no idea what they were

Regarding the Rennline pedals, how are the rubber grip version vs. the non-rubber version? Any one has an opinion?!

I would think tat the rubber adds some grip, especially on a dry pedal.
I just sent SRP an e-mail asking if they have a throttle pedal riser, like Rennline has, but not sure if I relly need it. Their Pyramid finish is very grippy, I had it on my last car..

I thought a NON grippy throttle pedal was desirable for heel-toe?

I have the Rennline gas pedal with pedal extension and rubber nubs. I think it works great.

Has anyone put JUST the gas pedal on and left the others stock? I am thinking that by adding them all, the height difference in PCCB / has will be the same as with stock - which I have issues with.

Maybe the "spacer" is under the pedal rather than the "extension" to the side of it?

I was going to say the same thing. You want grip on the brake pedal but wouldn't a smooth surfaced throttle be better? I simply have a home-made aluminum plate bolted to the throttle and it works great. It only needs to widen the gas pedal so that it's there when you rotate your foot and if your foot is "fixed" on the brake, it then needs to slide on the gas. No?

Here's my setup. It's not pretty but it works fine:

I had JUST the Rennline gas pedal and lifter plate and stock brake and clutch pedals. I didn't want to change the surface of the brake pedal since I was worried about slipping. Once installed it worked great. Not the same uniform look, but I didn't notice after awhile and the pedal positions were perfect for me.

I use the no rubber rennline version with the flippers on the go pedal -- works perfectly...
had them on my 996-3 and now on the RS... and I am sure they will be on the next car...
