Ok guys,
I have a 95 daily driven GSR and I periodically autocross and trying to heel/toe, but with the stock pedals its close to impossible! I have been looking at pedals, but have been running into problems and I hae a few questions. First I live in new england, so they can't be slippery in the snow. I have been looking at the sparco's, but they require drilling. Isn't the pedal pretty hard metal, would I need a carbide bit? If I were to sell the car, I want to be able to put them back to stock. I would imagine I could just pull the pedals off and put the stock covers back on. Would this be true? Any suggestions?

 

I just installed some OMP pedals a few weeks ago and they are fantastic. You will want the pedals that require drilling if you are going to be doing AutoX or track days - the last thing you want is your pedals to come loose or off during high-speed driving.

Installation was fairly straight forward, but there was some trouble finding appropriate places to drill on the stock pedals (especially the accelerator because it is so narrow). I used a standard drill bit and had no problems.

The feel that the pedals give me, as well as the help with heel-toe is great. I've driven in the rain and there was no slipping - the brake and clutch have a textured surface.

They are on sale right now for $30 at http://www.ompusa.com/pedals.htm

 

Flux,
Thanks for the reply! Can you use any of the holes in the pedals to mount to the stock medal? Do you happen to have a pic of your pedals? What soes everyone think?

 

Yes, any of the holes on th OMP pedals can be used to attach to the pedal - whch is good because it gives you many options of where to install and drill based on convenience and personal pedal location preference...

I don't have any photos right now of the pedals installed...

 

call me ricey, buy I went with the Razo pedals. They have a model with stainless steel meshing on the surface of the pedal, which gives a lot of grip. They are not the kind that you drill, you wrap metal straps around the orginal pedal to fasten them on, in addition to some double sided tape.
If I were racing, I may change to a different type, but for street, autoX, and the occasional driving school, I have found them to be perfectly fine. If you take some care when installing them, you can make them very secure. www.optauto.com carries them, they are called "Titanium pedal covers" although they are aluminum, with a Titanium colored coat of paint... Like I said, a little ricey, but they work well for me. It is now very easy to heel-and-toe.
