Pedals

Im looking to get some pedals, the stock clutch pedals seems to slip when its wet. Im not really interested in the AE pedals. Most of the pedals I like require drilling through the stock pedals, am I going to have any trouble with that? Here are some pedals I like but none of them come with matching dead pedals

MOMO Grand Prix GPS1111 :

Sparco Racer 03787 :

Sparco Reflex 0378713 :

Im looking for black, chrome or aluminum pedals, any other suggestions would be great. Thanks.

If you're looking for ones that don't slip, aluminum ones will not help you at all, they will slip more, which is why they are illegal(atleast in NJ)

I will probably go with the MOMO Grand Prix GPS1111 pedals, they have a good amount of rubber on them for grip and I think they look nice. Any suggestions for what I can do for the dead pedal?

I have had issues with slipping and the clutch pedal as well. I never had a problem with the brake or gas pedal, but my clutch pedal was always annoying whenever it got wet. It wasn't so much that it was slippery in general, it was that the stock hard rubber pedals have a tendency of not slipping at all at the very bottom of travel. While trying to allow the clutch pedal to rise, I would be applying SO little force on the pedal to finally allow it to rise, that by the time I did, the pedal would come flying up. Basically, all of a sudden, it would go from full stick, to full slip.

About the only solution I could come up with was to have a rag or someting tucked under my seat, so that I could dry my left foot before driving.

I have since experimented with some OBX pedals. I bought them simply because they were like $35 bucks Canadian in my hands through some OBX pedal group deal a while back. They are aluminum, and have little plastic nubs on them. I only use them on the clutch and brake pedal simply because they are the only pedals I need them on. I don't like the way it made the brake and gas pedal that close together when I had all of them on.

The pedal covers have made the clutch WAY more predictable when wet. You get friction from the nubs, not from contact between your shoe soles and the pedals themselves. I have personally found that they helped a whole bunch.

To give you an idea of my personal experiences with and without the OBX clutch pedal cover, if 100% is the unpredictable slip of the stock hard rubber pedals, I'd say the OBX is about 35% as bad as stock.

The rubber momo ones look like they would be significantly better than my OBX ones in terms of fixing this problem.
