does everyone use aftermarket pedals? I can heel and toe in a parking lot, but on the street, I just can't always blip the throttle b/c of the pedal spacing. I was looking at some of those $50 CF Sparcos that are on ebay a lot. I know that I want the kind that you drill into the stock pedals.

There's a lot of options. I'm using Momo Superturismos. I installed them favoring the left side of the gas and the right side of the brake to move them closer together, the gas also has a tab hanging off so you can catch it with your foot. I don't know if they still make them, but there must be something similar out there. OMP makes a lot of pedals in many shapes. Some of them are thin enough that you conform them to the contour of the stock pedals when you install them.

I still use stock pedals, but I took off the rubber on the brake and clutch and left it on the gas- it evened out pretty well. I have an older civic so the spacing may be a bit different.

make sure you dont slip off the pedals.

there are different ways to heel-toe. u dont have to have your toes on the brake and heels on the gas. u can do the opposite. just find a way thats comfortable enough. i got enough practice the traditional japanese way so thats what i do. but i tried using the left side of my foot on the brake and the right side of the foot on the gas and that worked well too.

heel-toe downshifting/braking isnt always about spacing.... it takes practice.... practice around the back streets till you get it down. Eventually you'll be able to do it without thinking. good luck!

I have this great set of Sparco's. Just blue metal full replacement jobs with the grooves and ridges on 'em. They seem to work really well.

Hey man, I think any pedal that is larger than the stock ones will help. I think the main idea here is to close up the gap between the brake and the accelerator pedals. I have foud that the offset in elevation between the pedals is pretty decent for heel-toe-ing.

I just got some cheapo universal aluminum pedals from my local car parts store, took of the stock rubber pads, and attatched them with some careful alignment (eyeball) and some flush-head self-tapping sheet metal screws. I positioned them to close the above mentioned gap, and voila, I'm Shumaker.

I have size 16 shoes
They seem to do the trick

I'd advise against the use of a pointed screw. I'd replace them with flat end machine screws and nylon lock nuts. Reason being if you do anything in a panic, the screws do stand the chance to snag the carpet or stick into the padding on the firewall. Neither is good.
