Pedal Set? - Rennline vs. Suncoast vs. Other
#19
i got the rennline.. love it !
but if i had to do it again, i would not put the upper pedal extension. If u r not careful, u can push the accelerator when u brake hard and fast.
BTW i also got it without the rubber inserts since i don't like having to plug them back in. Plus i feel they are more slippery when wet (IMHO)

^^ I had some aftermarket pedals on my old C4S and they weren't any better than the oem. Bought some Rennline for the turbo with all the extensions, lifters, etc. and found the design was such that I didn't need any of that. It's a ***** to be braking hard and finding that the car ain't slowing down! Almost t-boned a guy on the track the first day when he went wide and I didn't slow as planned........not good. The setup is great for me just with the Rennline pedals. The design is significantly different than oem and many aftermarket pedals. Morale of the story; don't go overboard until you know you need it......best

After literally pulling up the pictures of both pedal sets for a week, I'm going with Rennline. I think the color of the metal is less shiny and less busy in terms of the number of black dots. I'm leaving the red extenders off for sure though. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Based on a lot of reading on the forums and some of your input in this thread, I finally ordered a Rennline pedal set with the red extensions and no rubber nubs. Also based on advice offered on the forums ordered the throttle lifter plate to help alleviate the issue with hitting the throttle upon heavy braking. I am new to autocross and I cannot wait to install the pedals and see how they perform vs. oem.
Thanks for all your input...will keep ya'll posted.

Yes, that's what I was trying to say..... After the first day at the track I ditched both the extensions and lifter plate. The brake pedal from Rennline is larger than the oem one and with size 12 feet I have no trouble bridging the gap between throttle and brake to effectively H&T. For those just installing pedals for the first time, it's worth remembering that you generally brake much harder on the track than on the street so while it may seem like you have the setup dialed in when tooling around town, you may find that you inadvertently depress the throttle when braking hard while at the track. Not a big deal if you're ready for it and easy to adjust out. Just don't let it surprise you. Best,
