Does anyone have any comments on the Sparco Grip (aluminum) or Carbon Fiber pedals? Good grip? Bad? Looking for good grip pedals that don't cost $150 and aren't DIY. (I'm feeling lazy!)

my friend had the carbon fiber ones and he didnt like them at all. way to slippery, even when dry.

 

What's wrong with the stock pedals?

The stock pedals meet those quals.

 

I have the OMP 1000 pedals...

i have the grips, i never put the rubber grommet things in though, they are a bitch to get in , they look cool , but when wet out and my heavy clutch = bloody shins

Me + Heel Toe w/ stock pedals = not possible. Not even close.

 

Thats because you have womens feet....

 

I'm running this on my hatch(silver color) and they grip..

 

its operator error then.......

I've never driven a car that you couldnt heel toe in , some aren't the best but just play around with your foot position a little.

 

...or he wears a size 4 shoe...hehe j/k

 

heh.

 

It may be some user error, dr.cortez. However, I don't feel confident with my heel toeing with the skinny little gas pedal. I'm sure it is possible, but the shoes I race/drive in (not racing shoes, mind you) are size 9 and I'd feel much more comfortable with something larger. Stock is plenty grippy enough... would like a bit more contact area.

Or maybe I'm just sofa king wetodddid....

 

dont get pissy , but you said its impossible and its not

nothing wrong with a larger pedal , but you stated OEM set-up was impossible

IT IS NOT.

 

can someone explain what this heel toe means?

haha JK

 

Sparco pedals work great. I got the carbonfiber set myself but the stock pedals work just fine.

 

while in the brake zone , your heel blips the throttle to rev match for the downshift.

 

Sorry if I sounded pissy, I did not intend to do so. I was attempting to say it seemed impossible for me, not anyone else. Bigger pedal would help for me. I've been witness to many a good heel-toe in other R's, just not with me driving.

 

i got the grips i got all the little rubber bitches in but im having a prob with where to drill the holes on my civic pedals because theres a bar right down the center of every pedal im guessing go alittle to the left/right but not sure
