Why are you looking at the SRP pedal instead of the Cusco pedal?

It has a stock look, it’s cheaper, and it looks like the extension goes further up the side. Do you think the Cusco is better?

Just curious. I’m looking to buy an extension or spacer like you.

yeah, i tried floating my foot once so i could toe the brake and heel the gas...

i ended up panic braking while bouncing off the rev-limiter!
