Hey
When my shoes are wet, on more than one occasion, my left foot has slid off the clutch. Luckily it hasn't been at a bad time, but I'm a little afraid that it'll happen when I'm trying to make a left turn or something like that. Sooo, any suggestions for "grippy" pedals? I've been looking at the Sparco Grip pedals

but I heard elsewhere that the little black grip dots fall out easily. I'm not a big fan of the TT pedals nor am I a "serious" driver that needs heel/toe access. I just drive and don't want my feet to slip! Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Gwon

Re: Need grippy pedals (lildrgn)

i'm in the same situation, stock pedals suck, and the crappy "sport pedals" from pep boys arent any better, they dont fit well. from what i understand, sparco look like some of the better ones, but i'm wondering if the momo and the TT pedals are any good

Hmmm. Good point. The shoes I wear 95% of the time are about 2 y.o. Timberlands with very worn soles. I'll try some sneaks soon!

they (like the sparco's) require drilling..

Okay, I'm plugging the 25 yr. pedal group buy here: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=232898
As to the Sparcos....I think they look great, but they require drilling....which is something I don't want to do for a pedal mod. So, I decided on the next best thing, the 25yr. pedals......the dead pedal of which can be gotten for cheap here:

lol! schweet! we need 4 more ppl to buy the dead pedal for the GB.....glad I hooked someone. I've not seen the dead pedal for that cheap, and believe me I looked!
The other pedals retail for about $40.USD, though if you scour or wait for another GB, you will be able to get them for approx $30.USD.
Good luck!

This is the one I got on my car. I don't have any slipping problems. Simalar to the Sparco. Also the rubber dots on the sparco pedals do fall out very easy. My friend has it on his A4.
