PDE Adjustable Pedals...

[UP2MTNS]

These are PURRRRDYYYYYY! Anyone got them?

Down the road, but I don't like how my brake pedal is so much higher than my gas pedal.

Very nice. Even thought they are alum. they look a bit heavy.

I welded my clutch pedal to the same length as the brake pedal. it was also hard for me to get the pedal all the way to the floor with my racing seat installed.

The pedals look really cool, but i would rather see you spend money on a new Tilten setup with dual brake master cylinders.

oh, its 'down the road' if ever, to be sure, I was just wondering if anyone's used them. I don't like having to lift my foot to get it over to the brake, makes toe/heel really impossible to do smoothly.

Erik, got a link to the Tilten set up? what's the beni there?

edit: ohhh, I like there site....cool stuff. nothing suby specific though, I guess it would all be custom builds/fitment?

Yeah you want to be comfortable. I have some plans for my brake and clutch pedal.

i know the pedals in the RS are pieces of sh*t. Id like to do something about them down the road.

humm, that's confusing me, to get heel-toe, the brake pedal will need to be close to equal with the gas pedal while braking, which requires the brake padel to be higher at resting position.
tho you did say toe-heel, so maybe you do it another way?

heel toe....toe heel, either way, its hard for me to go from gas to brake cause my gas pedal is so much lower than my brake pedal.

I don't actually toe-heel in rallyX, what I'd rather be able to do is be on the gas....and slide my toe over to brake at the same time (think LFB) so that my left foot is free to clutch/shift whenever I like.

its all about options and keeping a flexible driving style, imo.

LFB ftw

FWIW I can't see that that is gonna work at all, since the action of a foot on the brake pedal is pushing against pressure (exponential I guess) whereas the action on the throttle is a linear motion. Your inputs would be all over the place - the reason heel-toe works is cos you can pivot the 'toe side' by pushing against the brake. It'd be real difficult to do that the other way round.

I don't see why you'd need it anyway:
- accelerating you only need gas and clutch
- downshifting you need half a right foot for brake, the other half for throttle blip and left foot for clutch
- lfb obviously you need left on brake, right on gas

That's it... swap positions as necessary. (aha ha cue O/T girl reference)

btw heel-toe really helps with those tricky 2-1 downshifts.

I don't think I'm explaining myself right. sometimes, I've caught my foot on the bottom of my brake pedal....its that much higher than my gas pedal. its annoying.

forget any driving technique, just moving from gas to brake, I have to lift my foot....a lot.

exactly, f'n annoying!

the PDE pedal kits are great, they have 4 positions of adjustability for the clutch and brake (side to side only). I used them for 2 years before selling off that subaru.

I would be happy to get this for my car. LFB is such a hassle. My brake pedal is not LFB-friendly at all!

I saw a Tilton 3 pedal set up for around $150, not bad.
