accelerator pedal for heel-toe downshift
Hi, guys,
I'm looking for an aftermarket accelerator pedal to make heel-toe downshift easy for my 2020 BRZ ts. To me, the OEM gas pedal is located too far and low from the brake pedal. I see products from Cusco, Sparco, etc. Have you tried any of those? Appreciate any input from you. |

I like the Verus Throttle Pedal Spacer kit. Keeps the OEM pedals and is completely reversible. it also allows for adjustments vertically and horizontally. Personally, I prefer it all the way to down and towards the brake pedal.

I’ve been using the SRP pedal for over 3 years now. Quite happy with it plus it’s a 5 minute install. Pull old pedal cover off with pliers, screw in new pedal

I have the cusco accel pedal cover, got it before a track day when I had some endless brake stuff coming over from Japan. I dig it a lot. I'd prob get the verus spacer though. The pedal cover is kind of like a bandaid, where the spacer actually fixes the root of the problem. I'm completely satisfied with the cusco pedal cover, dont get me wrong. Makes heal toe a treat.

Those gas pedal spacer work nicely. I have GSpeed (currently different name iirc) pedal spacer and problem for me is it just lifts the pedal too much. I get that, they gotta cover the current bolts, so it won't get in the way. So I just CNC a bit more off the spacer
If it wasn't for the stupid gas/brake pedal mistake issue, we could of had this pedal. Sadly, I only know 2 ppl have that pedal... and both are AT 86... WHY~ lol If you don't like spacer idea, you can go this option. It cost double or more than some of those pedal spacer. Cheapest option will be this |

BTW, if deciding on GSpeed, suggesting to get Verus one. Spacing wise it's almost completely same + ability for slight adjustment.
Also from my experience if one uses such spacers, is that one shouldn't use also pedal plates that make pedal wider to side (tried Verus + neoplot). Total spacement result gets too close to brake pedal, too easy to mispress together. So imho better choose exclusively, pedal plates OR spacer. @ichitaka05 : i recall in threads about that alternate prelaunch stock pedal, that also some twins in Taiwan may have had it, but couldn't find out how to source from there. Just on 2nd look noticed, that you milled down spacer .. did you also did something to that black puck pedal detent at same time? Last edited by churchx; 05-01-2020 at 03:48 PM. |
