Aftermarket Pedals

Who is using what? I want to get a larger gas pedal and add a dead pedal in my 944. Anybody have opinions about what they use?

I installed Rennline on both of my cars, they look good and are functional.

I looked into this, too. However, after making slight adjustments to my brake height pedal, I found the stock pedals work fine for performance driving.

So, I'd say, save your $$, and practice braking with the ball of your right foot, with the smallest toe of your right foot just above the throttle. For me, it originally felt like I was braking with my big-toe and ball-of-foot under the big toe. (It's tough on the street to heal-toe, because you won't compress the brake pedal as far, unless you're REALLY hitting the brakes hard on the street.) Practice before spending $$. Then if your you're not satified, spend, spend, spend .

Yeah, Bryan. I'm with Dan on this one. Spend your time, not your money. I call those pedal kits, "foo-foo stuff." Most of the time they are unnecessary in a stock Porsche. I can send you a video clip of heel and toe in a 944 with only the stock pedals.
Last year at Tribute to Le Mans, Sorensen's foo foo pedal came loose from his gas pedal and swung over behind the brake!!!
Everytime the driver would go for the brakes hard, he'd go hard on the gas pedal too! YIKES!

I came to the same conclusion after seeing the price people wanted for slabs of machined aluminum! So I ended up taking off the rubber cover and covering the pedal with a piece of grip tape, ala NASCAR. Very effective (I used this at the last AX) and inexpensive, so that is what I am sticking with for now.
