Solution to Heeltoe Woes

[DrewB]

Purchased one as well. For $45 I'll give it a shot.

Thanks I will definitely pick this up, heel toe'ing is way more difficult than it should be bone stock. This with my forge short shifter should make my stock car a bit more enjoyable.

Let's pump the brakes a bit. Haha. A few of us jumped on this. The rest of you guys should wait for more feedback. I jumped on the boomba racing short shift kit because of all the positive reviews. Installed it and found I didn't like it.

I bought one after doing more research and the reviews are really good (getting it later this week). I know it will fix/improve an issue I have with the throttle pedal. I think a short shifter is a little more complicated though lol. I was going to get an aftermarket short shifter, but didn’t want to risk not liking the feel so just went with the oem short shifter and love it.

wow everyone jumping on this. I don't think it helped that much. There are two problems with the pedal layout. First, the lateral distance between the brake pedal and throttle pedal. Second, how far down the throttle pedal is in relation to the brake pedal. This only addresses the second issue and barely at that.

Have you considered adjusting your heal toe style? Whenever I'm on the brake at all, it seems that the accelerator is at the perfect height and spot to "heal toe".

Yes I have tried multiple things. I could do it fine on my older cars which ironically were all Japanese. I even tried different shoes than my driving shoes. Anyways I blame the pedals lol. I have a couple big things coming that will help with this though.

Question, is this a solution for people who are racing their cars (track). I have watched a video of the heel toe, never did it as I did not have a need to. I've never tracked my car so I don't know these methods. Thanks

I'm trying to understand how this will resolve the heel toe issue in these cars. The pedal spacing is too far apart and the gas pedal is no longer floor mounted. Once you depress the brake, you're already in line with the gas pedal, so what good does this part do?

The issue for me is pivoting my foot enough to tap the gas. Maybe the spacer will allow for less pivot of the foot, making it easier? Maybe the only solution for me is to wear comfortable footwear and practice more.

Primarily for the the track but can be used in daily driving, prior to entering a turn.

I drive a DSG, but I have noticed that I have to lift my entire foot off the gas to reach for the brake pedal. I can pivot my toes over and be touching the side of the brake, but it's not squarely covering it unless I reposition my entire foot.

Is that basically what you guys are talking about?

Sounds like I'm the only fan of the Razo. I was initially skeptical of the design but it was the only practical options at the time. Mine feels great, is very secure and still won't budge. Maybe I could add the spacer...

Well the first of many big things coming to change the driving dynamics:





Looks like this will be exactly what I'm looking for.

That looks scary lolol

Yeah, I was running this kit. I fucking hated it and it was sketchy as fuck. I took it off and threw it in the trash.

Exactly the same for me, DSG doesn't heel toe but I hate lifting my entire foot to reach the brake pedal since my foot gets caught on the side of the brake pedal
