Re: Are mugen pedals worth the $ (madtypR)
they work very well and look quite nice. The surface on the brake and clutch looks odd but is very grippy, even when wet.
Are they worth $170? Probably not. But if you have the money...

from what i have read on this board, other pedals take two or so hours of install and install is a pain. i heard they are worth it.

Picture this:
You’re heading into the last corner at a descent click. You set-up the car under breaking and start going through the gears a la heal and toe and then suddenly your foot slips off your cheap grip-less break pedal. In those brief moments your car slams into the pit wall.
Small mistakes can cost a lot. Mugen pedals are more then pretty, they are effective! Are they worth it?
Probably not, but don't go cheap and sacrifice grip with pedals. You might pay a little more down the road.

Re: Are mugen pedals worth the $ (quikrpm)
has anyone tried making some? Total cost would probably be like $50.00
Get what you like. If you want overpriced JDM parts that's great. If you want to make your car look like it should be in an APC catalog, that's fine too.

Re: Are mugen pedals worth the $ (quikrpm)
what was that about ?
When buying parts such as these cost is really not an issue. Yes, it's overpriced because we're paying for the name. Many people don't care if they can get a cheaper alternative, but if that's what you're looking for then Mugen/Spoon/etc isn't for you.

Re: Are mugen pedals worth the $ (Reid)
i havent exactly seen an exact alternative of the mugens as in the the grippy feel of the clutch and gas pedals. I was looking to get mugens theyre the ones that i like the most.(im not bashing them nor the cost)
What i originally meant is, that for $35.00 u can get a set of smooth sparco or momo pedals, and cover the clutch and brake pedal using that grippy stuff they use on skateboards. Viola (sp?), good pedals with the feature everyone loves about the mugens.

The only complain about them is: Those rough surfaces on the clutch and brake pedals hurt like **** when you drive with only socks on or bare foot...I like the wear sandals during summer...

I like it because it's not a "clip on" kind of aftermarket pedals. I own a set because my friend gave me one as a present. I wouldn't buy it if that's my own money.

for that kind of money you can get the OEM JDM ITR RX actual pedals with the nice grippy rubber nubs and aluminum finish....

OMP is ok but it requires drilling into the actual pad no?
edit: Nope, sweet and creamy.
