Hi,

I'm looking into changing my pedals for a 3-pedal assembly that are closer for better control and heel n toe.
What are your experiences and recommendations ?

The ones that come to mind are the Tilton (600 or 900 series) or the Wilwood.

What's your 2 cents and recommendations ?

Thanks,

What Stan said - big job to install, have to tear up the underdash and rework the firewall penetrations, you'd lose power brakes.

If you just need to adjust the pedal locations, these work:

custom shape and thickness, I stock the phenolic in a variety of thicknesses. $25-$40 per pad.

I cut the grippy grooves as required, I like a grippy brake and clutch pad, slippery accel, I can make them either way, or use stick on grip tape instead.

And, for reference, here are C5 pedals - heel-toe was a natural for me with these:
hash marks are 1/2" apart
