Product for better heel and toe

Hey, i dont know if it's related to this sub- forum but i didnt know where to ask it. For easier heel and toe, I rather buy gas pedal extension like this:

Or spacer like this:

Together i think that it will be to radical setup...
Thanks a lot!

What problems are you having with heel and toe shifting? Would it be more beneficial to bring the gas pedal closer to you or make it wider so it's closer to the brake pedal? And there's no reason you couldn't do both; just make sure to identify the specific issue so you can correct it instead of throwing random parts at it.

If you can't do heel/toe properly on this car without modifying the pedals, you are doing it wrong.

My two cents: you can definitely heel-toe in the stock configuration but there is a lot of room for improvement in the layout of things. I got the Cusco gas pedal and while it's helped, I still want a pedal base extender like you linked, too bad it's a bit pricey. I personally prefer all three pedals on the same plane or close to it. Another thing that would help is a more sensitive throttle pedal/better throttle response.

Menashe123: My advise would be to get that Velox's spacer. I have one that moves pedal position to somewhat similar extent, but Velox's is cheaper & has some extra adjustment range if needed. With stock gas pedal & pedal i find it perfect for H&T. While ago i also had replacement gas pedal, that was angled, had to remove it, as that + spacer = pedal too close to brakes. While aftermarket pedals fix distance to brake pedal, they do nothing with pedal height (gas pedal on ours is imho a bit too low relative clutch & brake pedals). So from what i tried, spacer did best, and i'd use it w/o aftermarket wider pedals.

Mav1178: i could blip with everything stock. But it was PITA. I find it very reasonable to optimise pedal position for more comfortable use vs one, that was directed by "sticking mats & unintended acceleration lawsuits". People change seats, steering wheel, shifter to ones that make driving better for them .. why not pedals too?

I can't heel toe worth a damn in this car under reasonable braking. I have to be close to ABS to get the pedals close enough together. And even then I have my foot closer to the edge of the brake PED than I am comfortable with.

I am going to try to adjust throttle a little closer and stiff if that helps. If not, I will be getting one of the wider pedals.

Might be a 2016 or 2017 though. From what I've heard/know (I have a 17 myself) the gas pedal is further down than the brake pedal so it makes heel toeing more difficult than earlier MY's.

You can adjust the brake pedal height. I moved mine lower. Not to heel toe but because it felt high.

I can just as easily heel-toe in my size 10.5 steel toe work boots as I can in sneakers. And that's in the full range of braking.

Yeah, I haven't had any problems, I drive in Adidas Beckenbauers All round, Dr Marten shoes and occasionally in Redwing boots (but no twisting of ankles).. when I had my Caterham I had to drive in skinny sneakers Converse types as the footwell is really tight leading to a very close set of pedals.
