Pedal Recommendation?

Can anyone recommend a pedal kit? I've seen the SRP offering. Just wondering if anyone can help recommend something. Heel-and-toe is difficult with the OEM set-up.

Too bad they killed that preproduction pedal.. that made it look a lot easier. It's still easy compared to my other track car with it's bent pedal box

I'd like to see a nice replacement that actually replaces the stock pedal instead of bing stuck/screwed on, not sure if the OEM pedals are easily removed or not.. probably not.

I have the SRP gas pedal and like it a lot. Much easier to roll my foot to blip the throttle.

I'm planning on getting the SRP gas pedal if nothing better comes along soon.

I've been spoiled with my 911 and M3...the first time I shifted my foot over in the BRZ, I thought...where the heck is the gas pedal? I have a narrow foot too.

SRP seems like the best way to go right now. I really like mine - pedal placement not quite as good as a stock ITR, but almost. Adjusting the height of brake and clutch pedals helps too.
It attaches with two screws, which worried me a little at first. Seems solid, though. I don't think it's going to fall off anytime soon.

I got the cusco unit:

http://www.enjukuracing.com/products...9-12%252b.html

It hasn't arrived yet so I can't say much about it. I got this one for a few reasons:

1. It goes over the stick pedal. This means I don't have to modify anything AND it will bring the gas pedal closer to the level of the brake.
2. I don't see any issues with the stock brake, clutch, or dead pedal so I have no need to replace any of them. Just wanted the gas pedal...

Looks nice. I will let you all know when it comes in.

Another option:

Razo makes an accelerator pedal with an adjustable heel plate. The APM Racing FR-S that ran the 25 hour endurance race at Thunderhill had one installed. The RAZO pedal is adjustable, but it must be fairly robust (once set), to handle 25 hours of non-stop abuse, by multiple drivers...
