Pedal Setup - Heal / Toe

[Boff]

I'm having no trouble with heel/toe in this car. I position the arch of my foot on the brake and turn my toes 45 degrees outward to reach the throttle. I do have to be extremely ginger with the brake.
That Steeda pedal sure looks good though

I can't imagine how that is even possible...

I don't own a 2015, but I have no issue with heal/toe on my friends 2015 5.0l. I wear a pair on 13 1/2 Doc Martin boots if that makes a difference. I am so jealous of his car.

I'm assuming you guys sit pretty far back from the pedals? I sit up close with the seat all the way to the floor and the backing relatively upright. Steering wheel is pulled out to my chest but with a slight upward tilt. Even if I'm just practicing while parked and out of gear, my knee is blocked by the steering column and even with full braking pressure I can barely stab the throttle. The traditional pivot heel toe is physically impossible for me. I have a wide foot with a size 12 shoe; don't know how I can fan the throttle with the outside of the ball of my foot either since they're spaced pretty far apart and the throttle pedal is the size of a chiclet.

I move the seat forward enough that my left foot is fully against the footrest, and I have relatively short legs on a 5' 8" frame... so I'm pretty close. The wheel is all the way in and it touches my wrist when I'm leaning back into the seat.

Either way, the Steeda pedal looks pretty wide. I'll see if I can blip with the side of my foot when I get it.

O...waiting to hear your results, I'm not liking the pedal setup for H/T driving and will probably get the Steeda.

Do you feel the problem is the pedal width of the gas pedal or the difference in pedal height between the gas and the brake ???

1. Add the Steeda pedal (can adjust left or right with your drilled holes to make it perfect.

2. Remove the gas pedal assy and add fat washers behind the bolts that hold it down.

This combo can put the pedal almost anywhere you need it. I would have preferred a floor pivot assy, and may work on that with a spare assy. I think they are only 25 bucks or so, its a common part from ford.

Brad...thanks for the info, will try both...

Great suggestion, I like the steeda pedal feel but it seems like it would be better if the gas was just a bit taller.

Now that I am driving a 2016 Mustang, I see what you guys are talking about. Yes, the gas pedal is further away (deeper) than the brake pedal, making heel-toe very difficult. I have tried h/t (left side/right side method) like 5 times so far, with each attempt ended up with my foot slipping off the brake pedal.

I did 2 things....I installed the steeda heel/toe racing gas pedal which helped but still not right for me, so I did what another member suggested and removed the gas pedal assembly ( 3 nuts) and used nylon spaces under pedal assembly and raised the gas pedal height...either 1/2 or 3/4 work real good.

Is the Steeda set up reversible? I read that there is drilling involved in their installation.

Thanks for sharing. I might do the same, or maybe (also as suggested by a member) I will add some washer between the Steeda pedal cover and the pedal material.

+1?

You can just remove them and put the rubber oem pedal covers back on.

Not on the gas pedal, the steeda aluminum pedal is screwed into the stock gas pedal which seems to be plastic

This ought to help....
