Default any of you using aftermarket pedals?

DO any of use aftermarket pedals? If so which ones? The pedals on my GSR are a little spaced out for my feet. I gotta wear wide shoes to heel and toe. any suggestions for some grippy, adjustable pedals?

i think heel & toe requires length over width - a friend of mine was under the same impression, until i showed him the way i do it. i have small feet (men's 9) but had no trouble demonstrating it on his miata and my civic, both with stock pedals.

that being said, i have been eyeing the mugen, sparco, momo, and omp pedals - the omp's can be had cheaply and probably work just as well.

i have the mugen pedals. They're ok but I never had problems doing it stock. I actually like it better stock. Just too lazy to take the pedals off.

men's 9 is the key word. Short feet eh... just think in the horizontal plane and you'll suddenly notice the gaps disappear. Put those pigeon toes to good use

Anyone know of a cheaper pedal than the mugen, with the anti-slip finish on them? Been eying the mugen myself.

After spending a good deal of time looking at all the options and talking to lots folks about pedals, I decided to fork out the cash get the Mugens -- and I have no regrets. Between their function, fit, and finish, these things are an excellent choice if you can afford them.

That's not exactly what I wanted to hear, but more or less what I expected. Mugen's pedals blow everything else away.. I love the anti-skid. Wish there was a comparable alternative though.

i think you're doing it wrong. GSR pedals aren't that spaced out.

i like the feel of stock pedals over the aftermarket ones ive experienced (in my friend/aquaintances' cars...Sparco and the cheapy ones). i can usually heel-toe pretty well with stock pedals and i have VERY small feet (mens 8)..its a bit of a chore turning my foot like that but im used to it i guess....car is a '95 Civic.

i might get an aftermarket brake pedal to get it closer to the gas pedal..but for now stock works cool.

I use MOMO aluminum ones bacuase you could more securely bolt them directly to the steel original pedal. Gets the brake closer to the gas and makes toe-heel much easier.

15 minutes with a hack saw and they had my own "non-slip" finish.

I bought some imitation RAZO carbon fiber pedal covers. It's not really carbon fiber, just the "look". But it helps me during braking and blipping.
