GMPP Pedal Kit for Better Launch.. The Untold Secret
I recently installed the GMPP Pedal Kit on my car and wow. What a difference. The clutch and brake pedals feel the same (obviously) because it's just a pedal cover. But the GAS pedal on the other hand... It's a whole new pedal (Requires some wrenching and patience). This pedal actually altered my ability to launch my car AMAZINGLY on the street. Keep in mind that I consider myself a good driver and I could always get off the line alright at least. But this is amazing. The gas pedal is almost double as stiff as the stock one and it allows for PREMIUM control of power and torque especially off the line. We all know how hard it is to control our power off the line with that SENSITIVE stock gas pedal. Which in turn gives us uncontrollable wheep hop etc.... Try these out. They look sexy and it's really worth it. I think this is an untold secret that is very underrated

I havent taken pics yet but that's a good call! I will soon and I'll post them up. I got them as a Christmas present but they cost around $120 I believe.

How are they for heel and toe? Is the gap between the brake and throttle less than the stock setup?
Finding the pedals just a tick too far apart for the max effort braking while clicking off a couple of downshifts

Go aftermarket, you'll get more for your money. I absolutely love my MOMO pedals, I think I paid like 60 or 80, I don't remember. But they definitely feel better than the rubbish we get stock. There are pics in my gallery if you wanna see them.

Those are just pedal covers though... what he's talking about is the GMPP gas pedal is the whole assembly and therefore feels different.

OP.
You don't happen to have a pic of the new and old side by side do you? Or did you notice what they changed? Is it just a stiffer spring? Sorry it's been almost 2 years since I put mine on, I can't remember what the stock assy looked like exactly, I'm just assuming it runs on a spring

You're comment at the moment is like saying its still the same radio even though you get a different head unit.
The pedals do have a different feel

No kidding, I guess I didn't realize it replaced the entire pedal assy. I wonder if there is any way to get just the assy without the covers so I can keep my MOMO's. Or if we could find out exactly what they changed to possibly mod our stockers

IMO get REAL pedals, there is 2 i know of that are really good but css.net "rules" prevent me from linking you to the product, if u wanna know about them PM, they are absolutely amazing quality and will help alot with heel/toe.

It's not just a cover it's the entire gas pedal assembly? I didn't know that... they look a bit funny tho that's the only thing that prevents me from getting them,

If there are any questions on installation... You can ask me. The "How to" forgot to mention a couple bolts to take out that make the whole assembly process a billion times easier.
Yes. The clutch and brake pedals are just covers to match though.

Can somebody tell me what kind of material these things are made of. Crate Engine ad doesn't say. Dut they do look good. I don't know if they're pretty enough to stare at as I drive down the road though.
