Have the Floors of your Camaro been modified? If so, were they change for the pedals or were the pedals chosen for the existing space that came originally with the car.
lol. Yes, the floors in my Camaro have been modified but no, it had nothing to do with the pedals. The pedal assembly fits in the stock(ish) location (As mentioned I am using a Locar has pedal which is in the stock location).

How did you do your research? Did you have anyone drive your car and make suggestions based on your car?

I made my choice based on engineering, history, feel and suitability for what I was looking for. Research - internet, word of mouth, Sema. As far as having someone else drive my car to tell me what kind of pedals I want...that really wouldn't help me much would it?
