Yes, it absolutely takes some practice and careful foot/leg positioning to not accidentally hit both with your foot. I have the Steeda h/t pedal and Garageline spacer, and my gas and brake pedals are on the exact same plane and right next to each other. Just one of the reasons why I don't let anyone else drive my car...Considering getting some of these. I wish I had ordered some sooner so I could practice this before hitting the track on Sunday.
Random stupid question -- with wider acceleration pedals, does it take some getting used to? I find that in my gf's stang, I can feel the accelerator on the corner of my foot when pressing the brakes just slightly. No one accidentally hit brakes and accelerator when coming to a stop eh? Lol.
Gotcha. Makes perfect sense. Very interesting! Thanks man.Yes, it absolutely takes some practice and careful foot/leg positioning to not accidentally hit both with your foot.

But once you're used to it, it's easy, just becomes second nature. Only challenging under really critical threshold braking where the brake pedal is pushed further down than normal, of if you're wearing clunky shoes, like work boots.
But this is exactly why most cars don't come stock with good h/t pedal positions- liability for "unintended acceleration "
Honestly you just learn to brake with the left side of your foot. With the brake fully depressed I'm revving the engine maybe 300 to 500 rpm's. Nothing that will actually affect your driving in any way. Plus it allows me to heel and toe with ease.Gotcha. Makes perfect sense. Very interesting! Thanks man.
Talking about with the actual heel toe pedals right? Do you guys also find yourself jerking the brake (applying more/less pressure) while heel toeing? The first time I tried without the heel toe pedal, braking was a little less smooth and weird for me. Still planning on getting this pretty soon though.Honestly you just learn to brake with the left side of your foot. With the brake fully depressed I'm revving the engine maybe 300 to 500 rpm's.

You won't apply even pressure on the brake pedal the first few times you drive it. It will become muscle memory rapidly though. And yes I use Steeda's heel and toe gas pedal. Also some leeway in mounting it, maybe a half inch either way. I mounted all the way to the left, and it works for me with a size 8.5 shoe.Talking about with the actual heel toe pedals right?

What are people using to space out the pedals? Saw the GarageLine spacer but, to me, if you're going to drill on a new pedal cap then you have other options (between OEM pedal and Steeda) that might be cheaper? Looking to see if someone already has a proven solution rather than figuring it out the hard way myself! ;)I went with the Steeda pedal, because price. Also .5 inch spacer. It's almost too much spacer, but works out well with my size 8.5 shoe. Anyways, I can now heel and toe the car while driving home from work, it's great.

I have the same setup; very pleased.+1 on Steeda pedal + Garageline spacer. Perfect setup, and you can fine-tune the exact placement of the Steeda pedal, because you drill the stock pedal backing piece to mount.
The brake pedal in these cars moves so little under braking that the heights are not compromised.Biggest reason I haven't done anything like this is because once you're braking hard enough (like at the track), you don't want the step-over height to be compromised.
