Widening the brake pedal to make heel-toeing easier

Jag32 · Jun 29, 2006

I can't heel-toe (well actually, sidefoot-sidefoot

) with my driving shoes on because they're too narrow and I can't reach both the gas and brake pedals. I was wondering if it was possible to somehow artificially widen the brake pedal? If not, is there a good aftermarket brake pedal (or full pedal set) that I could buy which is much wider than the stock brake pedal that you guys would recommend?

Thanks

You can buy differant pedal covers that are wider. I would just be sure to get some that screw on not clamp on.

Where can I buy them?

Subaru has some STi pedals with a bumpout on the gas pedal to help assist with this. IIRC, they are kinda expensive though.

The reason I know about these is because a buddy of mine makes them. Heres a link to his distributer. http://www.autovation.net/.

Awesome link, thanks. Do you know how the gas pedal is installed? Do you have to take off the whole stock pedal cover or can you install it right over the pedal itself?

If it was me I would take the stock one off but I think you can do it either way.

there are aftermarket adjustable pedal sets, like the PDE one..
but my guess is you could get aftermarket pedal covers. there are a few ones out there.

it may be easier to heel toe it you sit further back..i adjusted my driving position for that..and eventually got used to it.

Here is another link to pedals:

They have a few different versions of wide ones as well.

OMP pedal sets

Here is one more option, the CDOC and OMP pedal sets. These are a bit expensive, but are really nice. Mine were easy to put on and didn't take me too long to adjust my heel toe from the stock pedals.

I don't know this company personally, but I have had only good experiences working with them and I like mentioning any company that takes care of their customers.
