Guys (and girls) any one aware of any kits that fix the pedal spacing for heal and toeing?

Brake pedal is too high compared to the accelerator and I literally get muscle strain everytime I try. Final straw came when I rented a VW van and that had beautifully spaced pedals!

I found this too.
I also don't think it's the spacing, more like the Brembos grab so early, you have to roll your foot right over to get on the accelerator.
Being on a track, with much heavier braking would be OK, but for smooth around town it is a little tiresome.

My solution is the Steeda Heel/Toe gas pedal or complete kit.

Bridgdav spot-on, that's exactly what the issue is! Is the Steeda kit a night and day improvement? Is just the accelerator definitely enough to solve.

Thanks

It is on mine.. I will take some pics tomorrow with suitable footwear, so you can see the overlap.
I can now blip on downshift without having to contort my knee.

It's an easy fit, drill a few holes and screw direct to the current pedal, so you also get an extra few millimetres of height too.
Removal of the pedal assembly I s your best method, so you can drill on the bench. A wire harness removal and 3 nuts.

The performance pack pedals also differ from the base model as they have Stainless steel plates on. I'm not sure what the UK spec cars have. There is a single bolt on the back of the pedal plate which makes it even easier to put on.

Accelerator pedal only Mod.

Narrow section is about the width of the original pedal.



Foot on the Brake only.



Heel and toe or foot shuffle to the right and tilt...



So you can see the overlap is much improved and requires only a slight adjustment of foot position.

I hope this helps..

Just to close this off, I got the Steeda heel/toe gas pedal and initially just stuck it on with double sided tape, it was better but I found it still way too low, on our RHS cars at least.

So the clever guys at GT101 used some dense foam(?) and raised it approx 2cm. It is now perfect, heel and toeing is as easy as it should be!
