Best pedals for heel-toe

The stock pedals are not ideally set-up for heel-toe-ing (I guess that's how you say it). The gas is a bit far away from the brake pedal & is significantly lower. I'm wondering what y'all's experiences is with aftermarket pedals (or covers) that might make it easier. Thanks in advance.

I think it depends on the size of your feet and your choice of footwear. I have relatively large feet (size 12 D) and I tend to use the left side of my foot on the brake and the right side of my foot to blip the throttle. I bought a set of pedal covers from Suncoast Parts that were inexpensive and work great. If you have smaller feet, then you may prefer a pedal with a longer extension like the rennline pedals.

Aluminum rennline pedals work fine for size 13s.

Don't need anything added with 16 5E.

With feet that size, how do you guys get into these cars?

6'2", 230, big feet, I fit fine in a 986 Boxster, but better in my 996.

I'm impressed!

I'm 6'4", about 205 lbs. The 996 interior is plenty big enough for me.

With size 16 5E I just use one foot on the brake and rock it left-right to get the clutch or throttle. Big feet were much easier in the air-cooled cars with the bottom mounted pedals. The toe box is bigger, at least it was in my '70 & '72 911s. In the 996 I had to cut the plastic relay guard above the dead pedal to get room for my toes. Width wise I have to be very precise with my clutch work or I catch the dead pedal or the brake. If I am driving a long distance I use my driving shoes. They are like driving in heavy socks, at least that way I can feel pedal placement better. The down side is when I stop at a rest area I feel like a Ferrari driver mincing around in my ballet slippers.

Damn, fpb, when you posted the first time, I thought you were just having fun. Those are some big dogs.

Always has made things difficult, except SCUBA. My little baby brother, only has 13s, used to buy two pair and give me the boxes to wear.

I have Rennline's pedals w/ the throttle extension. Just have to be careful that you train yourself to position braking foot correctly and not hit both pedals inadvertently.

Size 16? Don't you always end up brake torquing that thing accidentally?

How about a set of RUF Pedals! We're now offering RUF Aluminum as well as Rennline Perforated Aluminum Pedal Sets. Both are examples of excellence in material & manufacturing quality. Check out RUF Pedal sets here and Rennline here . Let us know if you have any questions. Mark/Pelican Parts

I have the stock pedals and my shoe size is 10.5. I have no trouble heel and toeing my 996. But then I have been practicing this method for over 20 years so I'm pretty comfortable with it.

I can't wait to get my ecu reprogrammed as heel toe'ing on stock eGas throttle maps have little to be desired.

Why's that? Heel-toe works great for rev-matching downshifts when you're braking deep into a corner, regardless of whether you've got a cable or a rheostat/potentiometer attached to the pedal on the right... What's this ECU flash you speak of? Hmm? </yoda>

Do the Ruf pedals work twice as well?

The throttle is a lot more linear with cable throttle for me. The eGas especially in my car seems non linear and a little clunky and delayed at times. Most ecu reflashes sharpen the throttle maps which is something I'd rather do with the refined fuel and ignition maps than just getting something like a sprint booster.

When are you doing this? I'm keen to hear how you like it.

One thing I have noticed with the E-gas is if you drag the brake while holding the throttle steady the E-gas drops out until you let up on the brake. I find this irritating while trying to warm up the brakes during pit out onto the track or after washing the car when you want some heat in the rotors to dry things out.

I like these - SRP:

So basically no left foot braking in the 996.

Agreed, this is an irritating feature of e-throttles of most if not all makes.
