Pedal sets with better grip??

I am on the verge of buying a set of Performance pedals in the grid style.

Do any of you have experience with these? How do they perform? Install issues?

Are there other ones I should look at?

All morning on google and I am pretty sure these are the ones I want but your experience makes the decision easier.

I bought my upgraded pedals from SRP a few years ago. They have a variety of finishes and grips. Very happy with them.

I bought my grid pedals from CCA. Chip is great to deal with and the pedals are excellent. The only hard part on installation is trying to squeeze into the foot well to attach the mounting hardware. I was almost ready to pull out the seat to make it easier, but I managed to complete the installation with the seat in place. I used a right angle dremmel attachment to drill the mounting holes on the gas and dead pedals. Here's a link to the installation instructions.

I have the grid pattern from CCA, this has worked well for me.

I know the upgraded petals will enhance grip for sure. I always drive my performance cars with my racquet ball shoes which have an excellent sole for grip. In my Pantera I use Nomex racing shoes which work well and are very narrow since the pedals are spaced "very" close together.

Do you find that they "grip" your shoes better? Mostly, I wear sneakers when driving, so it's usually not an issue, but a couple of times, when going out in dress shoes with leather soles, I've had my foot slip on the clutch pedal.....

If you want all 4 Grid - order from Performance Pedals (note we will have the Gas Pedal Grid reduced so your foot can move) http://www.performancepedals.com/che...ttepedals.html
(Takes 5-8 business days)

If you want Brake and Clutch Grid and Gas Pedal and Dead Pedal
in Satin order from CCA
