Opinion on NEW pedals

Not sure if Im breaking any rules here, just wanted some feedback on this pedal design?

I would think rod type throttles would be much more difficult to set up and install vs cable types.

Jody,

I understand what you mean, these are designed to fit stock locations and are adjustable. Im not sure what the ratio is, but I do know road racers and drag racers a like sometimes go with the rod style rather then the cable.

I like both, and feel they both have their place, rather it be for looks or function...one or the other could enhance or hinder the type of build or look your going for.

Thank you for the comments though, not really getting too much feedback on at PT.com yet. and thats ok.

I'd like to see an adjustable pedal to rod height. I'm getting ready to mod my stock pedal for heel/toe.

Todd,

Rod height? Are you refering to from the floor board up?

These have that adjustment....if there ends up being a desire for these, we me add the toe bar as an option...goes over the toe.

Do appreciate your input for sure....we have more goodies to introduce...but will need to wait until after Thankgiving.

I have one on my car and I love it....! Piece of cake to install and adjust. I am really glad this piece was available. Has tons of adjustment and installed in only a few minutes.

I would prefer a rod over a cable. I currently have a cable and am fighting trying to get smooth acceleration. I have trouble with the cable sticking as well.

I'm referring to an adjustable pedal that would allow fine tuning for heel toe. Bring the pedal closer to the brake pedal while still using the floor as the throttle stop.

Todd,

great point, thats the kind of response we are looking for. we took your comment to disscussion, and we figure...it already has the vertical adjustment, do you think a 2.5 lateral adjustment would be enough for most applications?

We also have the clutch and break pedals that install in stock location as well to match....Ill try to post a picture.

That should probably work. I think the biggest problem with a stock/Lokar gas pedal has been the distance of the pedals to the firewall, where the gas pedal sits 2" further away from the driver. When trying to heel-toe a driver could roll his foot to the right and still never blip the throttle.

It is nice to see someone is concerned with this.

Matt
