I wouldnt think of making a big deal about pedals but ahhhhhhh. Every time is rains I cant stand the clutch pedal. No matter what my foot will slip right off. Its embarassing yet dangerous. I go to put the clutch in and slip lol my foot slides right off. Even with brand new shoes.

There has to be some sort of pedal with grooves in. None of non grippy s**t..

I've got the Steeda pedals, no troubles here.

They've got rubber points that work well, and install with bolts - not clamps.

Actually, grab a nice and small metal drill bit, drill tiny holes through the pedal and screw in some dull tipped screws. That should keep your foot from sliding.

I've got the exact same problem with the svt pedals (the aluminum ones with the raised rubber bumps)...pretty scary :o . I think the best would be ones with the raised drilled holes you can get them everywhere.

I've got the Gear Concepts pedals that steeda sells as "Steeda" pedals.. Havent had any problems with slipping with them in rainy weather.. that stock rubber cover can get pretty slippery though.

Steve I will have to come take a better look at your pedals. Those are the same ones Bort has, correct?

the only time i had trouble with any pedals in when i had ice packed work boots, if anyone has trouble they should learn to put their foot FULLY on the pedal instead of half ass hitting it, i have svt's in my car now and i love them
