Default Pedals for heel-toe downshifting?

What are good pedals for hell-toe downshifting?? And how can I modify them so that the brake and gas pedal are on the same height on a 5th gen Prelude?
Thanx in advance!

The pedals I have are Techart pedals for a Porsche. I got them from a used car. They have holes all over it, you drill hole through your stock pedal and put bolts in the holes. I have my gas pedal offset toward the brake pedal so I can get some HELL-toe action. Just try to find pedals with lots of holes.

stock works just fine .. but if you want to do it easier (like using the ball of your foot on the brake and rolling the side unto the gas) then you need to find a set that has a larger gas pedal with an extension to close the gap between the brake and gas pedal.

The Razo (RP-54) pedals work well for me.

I find it really weird now to drive any other Integra that doesn't have aftermarket pedals. I keep trying to go for the gas pedal extension and it's never there, so I find myself having to stretch a lot further for the gas pedal.

If you're a cheap ***, you could just bend the gas pedal over.

I'm currently using Mugen pedals. The gas pedal is still a lot lower than the brake pedal but the gas pedal is wider now, at least to a certain degree it does help in heel and toe downshifting.

pros use omp they are cheap and have a side wall to prevent your foot from sliding under the brake pedal.

stock works well for me just practice to get the feel. i guarantee you can do it with stock if you just get used to it a lot.
