good pedals for heel-toe downshift?

I'm not really a "racer" as of now... but I just need pedals for heel-toe downshifting for convenience purposes. When I downshift I can't brake at the same time cause I don't really get how you can put a the same foot on the brake and the gas. Are there any specificly good cheap ones. Are pedals easy to install? thanks.

Matt93SE had some REALLY nice pedals installed, I dont know if they are good for it, but they were actual pedals and not some cheap razo pads.

I prototyped the kit for the 3rd gen, they just haven't updated their website yet. email them and see if they have an application for the 4th gen yet. (I know they were contacting some .org members in the past to for someone to try them.) If they don't have a set already designed for them, they'll give you a pretty nice discount for helping them with the kit. it basically took an hour or two of my time and I saved about $75 on the set.

I use OBX pedals and they work great. Your heel doesn't have to angle as much as stock and all you need is a lil shift and a blip and you're good to go. Costs around 20 bucks but no deadpedal

double clutching is where you
1. clutch and go to neutral
2. blip throttle (tap to get revs up)
3. clutch and drop to lower gear
so that you don't get the ole herky jerky when you downshift and can accelerate quickly in the lower gear

no, you wouldn't use it in a drag race
