what might be a bit easier... instead of heel on gas and toe on brake... try it the other way about... might be a bit easier (my buddy suggested that, and hes pretty damn good at heel-toe)

heel toe, you modulate the brake and blip the throttle
your friend is doing the other way. i guess that's like writing w/ your left hand
whatever works is the best way!

RE: Heel-toe
Yes, for my i either blip the throttle while im off the break, or i use heel on break and toe on bedal. it makes it a lot easier to mediate the pressure. try pushing the gas with ur heel while driving to school lol.
and the stock pedals kill it. it is becuase the gas is placed so far below the break that you cant heel toe well unless ur under hard breaking. my friends jeep. omg it was the easiest thing inthe world to heel-toe. the gas is just right there. that, and our engines slow rev speed doesnt help that. but i guess a lwfw could fix that somewhat

I have a hard time with the "heel-toe" in my A4, but it's really second nature in my little Acura. The pedals are a bit closer, and I'm able to roll my foot off of the brake a little, and blip the throttle with the right side of my foot.

I know I can't slap just any set, hence the me asking for a good set
Edit: nvm, found it.

There was a group buy a while ago not sure if you can still get the pedals at a discount or not though. I did'nt buy them because I think they were about $50+ and i cant see myself spending that much on pedals. I also remember that you cant just slap any set on your car.

Is that when you take a turn and a hairpin falls out, so you bend over to pick it up?

Yeah we know what a hairpin bend is. It's the road that we choose to drive on, not HAVE to drive on. See, America is so big that we can do whatever we want. Must **** people off in little, wet countries where they slog around on narrow roads because they have to.[8D]
