Considering doing road course work next summer. The 4th Gen brake and gas are not really ideally set up for heel-toe shifting...what are you guys doing to improve this setup? Are you just replacing the pedals with sparco's or are you totally modifying the the assembly...or is the fact I've never worn race shoes throwing me off and this setup isn't as bad as what I thought?

I haven't figured it out either,The harder you brake the further the pedal heights are apart.
We tried to get my buddy Greg's car setup to do it as he has much more seat time than me. We fixed the gas pedal where it wouldn't pivot on it's mount and reached down and bent the pedal closer to the brake pedal. The difference in pedal heights when braking is what we cant figure out. I have gotten pretty good at rev matching prior to the corner. Really you need a lot more seat time before you even consider this tactic on track. |
