I was told the ones w/o rubber, just hole are better when shoes are wet.
To install pry off brake and clutch pedal covers, then drill a couple holes. For gas & dead pedals you drill thru exisitng pedals. Instructions are part of package.

I have the ones with rubber and have not had any problems with wet shoes on them. I chose the rubber so that I could get a little more grip of rubber on rubber.

The ones with out rubber must have a lot of bite.

I bought the three piece set in black with the rubber *****. Heel Toeing is so easy with these pedals.
i'm the opposite. the toe extension sometimes gets in the way and i don't even have a big shoe. but the toe extension makes it easy to just roll your foot instead of h/t.

quick question... my brake pedal and gas pedal don't line up (the gas pedal is deeper-in towards the floor) Is there a way to adjust the pedal so they line up for easy heel-to-toe shifting?

You really don't want that for braking downshifts, and if your right foot is not on the brake you don't need to heel to toe or roll the toe (my way of doing it).

The basic steps in a braking downshift to match the revs are:
1. Hard brake & clutch in.
2. While braking and as you shift out of gear and into neutral blip the throttle (with your heel or your toe, decide what is comfortable)
3. Complete the down shift with the shifter.
4. Release the clutch and transfer your right foot onto the gas.

Truly a delight to achieve as you brake hard before a turn after a long straight on the track.

To practice just try steps 1 & 2 and come to a stop with a blip of the throttle (easy to do on the street).

Then try adding steps 3 & 4, hard on the street but you might be able to find some suitable corners.

Martin, you forgot to mention that this all happens really quickly and the blip of the throttle is intended to Rev Match the new gear that you have shifted to, and it is very nice when you learn how to do it. Another reason I am not a fan of PDK, no heal toe!

they about line up when you're on the brakes. otherwise, the rennline pedals has an optional adjustable lifters for their gas pedal for additional cost.

have 09 997 and installed these (rennline pedals) everything went fine until after I drilled through the metal brake pedal and tried to place the screw and locking nut behind it. I doesn't seem to want to tighten all the way down....and ends up stripping the screew...any thoughts?

Take the other screws out and make sure it is flat on the pedal. You may need to drill another hole.

If you have the toe/heel extensions, do you think the gas lifter plate is necessary? I've read people like just the toe/heel extension and others who like the gas lifter plate a lot better.

I would say no, when under braking where you would want to rev match, the gas and brake pedals are the same height. However it is all up to your individual style of heel toeing.

Do you have the 4 piece pedal set? I only have the 3 piece and find it is fine.
