Default Sparco Pedal Set

We raffled 2 sets of these at yesterday's Nor-Cal Meet. I liked them so much, I bought a set and just put them in tonight.

Bay Area folk interested in these pedals can get them on discount using the flyer that was distributed at yesterdays meet.

That pedal set looks great.

What was the pricing at your meet?

Can you email me or post the 'Discount Flyer' you mentioned or provide a email site or phone # of 'Down Force Distributing'.

Thanks

I just happened to be thumbing through an "Import Racer!" magazine this morning (my GF bought it because it had an NSX article in it, honest) and the 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege comes with the same Sparco pedal set.

I still like the way they look, though. How many HP do they add?

Question Dunno for sure yet

I have to go back home and look at the receipt to know "exactly" what I paid. Don't want to mis-quote and have an irate sponsor all over me .

So later on today I'll post the flyer info. Everyone will be able to take advantage of the pricing by just mentioning CL. Downforce Distributing will ship anywhere.


In the meantime, for more info go to:
http://www.sparcousa.com/tuning_pedals.asp



We had a really good turn out at the Nor-Cal meet and had major sponsor support. Anything we can do to patronize our sponsors will be appreciated and help ensure that we continue to get this level of support at future meets.



Thanks,
RMMGS4

Does Sparco offer anything for the dead pedal?

Nope


That's originally why I didn't want them, but then I realized that if I bought a clutch/brake pedal set, that it would fit on my foot brake.

So that kind of made up for the lack of a deadpedal for me.

I looked at a lot of pedals. These were the only ones I found that didn't have that cheap feel and ricey look.

My photo doesn't do them justice. Check out the Sparco site for a better idea.

Dave,

You can get about 4 HP with the pedals, and paired with some racing shoes, you should get about 6 HP
