I assume it all depends on how much flexibility you have in rotating your right foot counter counter clockwise.

I personally can't really angle it that much, and prefer to put my focus on the braking pressures.

also once you have a good big brake kit, your brake pedal is not squeezing down as much as stock, and then the gas pedal is really too low to do a clean heel and toe. Not only you have to rotate your foot, but you also have the bring your heel lower than your toe.

Yoga master I am sure can do it.. I can't that is why the G-Speed relocation kit come to play ...

...

I am also not as young as some of you guys...

I feel like all my trouble has been with the gas pedal being far too low and slightly too far to the right. This little thing seems like it would be perfect, and, worst case scenario, it at least looks cool as shit.

Maybe I'll regret it in the morning, but I don't think I will, and for now I'm super excited!
You look like a tall guy, like me. I can't heel-toe normally because my leg hits the steering wheel, so I have to use the side-foot method. If you have to do that as well, then you'll be happy with the gspeed pedal relocator. I think your buyer's remorse will be minimal.

I like my cusco pedal I just find since I just drive in random sneakers occasional the sole of the sneaker gets caught under the edge of the cusco pedal and results in a mis shift

Samesies. I think this is going to be a really good mod for me.

Between the relocator, cusco pedal, and the SRP pedal, how can you tell which one will work best for you? Not many reviews found so far...
