I am adding the dead pedal this weekend. Pepboys has it and they had a 20% discount code "BEEP20" Pics to follow. :)

I am really wanting to widen the gas pedal in my Crosstrek. I hate the position of the thin OEM pedal.
I have a bad right knee and it makes my knee cramp up while I'm driving.
I really like the Razo pedals you picked out coletrain, although I personally would prefer something in black.
Are those the large or the small gas and brake pedals?

Also any pics of the dead pedal installed yet?

I used the small or part number RP81, and RP83. Deadpedal is RP86.

Not only wider, it makes the accelerator easier to push too. Thanks.

Thank you, I think I'm going to have to breakdown and buy a set of these even though I'd prefer something a little different. I bought some others already that I really like.

The break pedal was a pice of cake, there are already holes in the pedal so I just ran bolts through. The gas is another story with the fact that it's all one piece, curved, and plastic. I am at a loss as to how to put that one on. They match my door sil guards and cheap too. So I took a chance. I would still use them if I could find a way to make them work. I've been using the break, but the gas is the pedal I really need. Also they are the perfect size for the dead pedal so I was just planning to buy a second set if I could get them to work.

OK Coletrain... where in the world did you get your pedals at? I saw pepboys for the dead pedal, but I cant even find any Razo products on their site.
I've been looking all over the net most of the night, only place I've found is Amazon. They have the small brake and the large gas pedal.
The large gas pedal sounds like it might fit, but thought I would ask your opinion since you already own a set.

These are the measurements I was able to come across in reviews of the 2 sizes.
Large: Bottom fully closed 2 7/16" by 5.25"-5.5" high
Small: Top of pedal 2" wide by 4.5" high

I tried your build thread, but it didn't have any more info on them than what's here.

Wanted to chime in here.

I caved and ordered the Razo RP85A and RP82A from amazon last week. The gas pedal is on backorder unfortunately. BUT, if you drive a manual do yourself a huge favor and get these pedals.
Don't argue with me, don't go hemming and hawing. Put them in your cart and be a happy person. Yes, they are a bit flashy, but who cares, paint them black if you feel the need.
I have a true to size men's 10.5 foot (low arches). Even without the gas pedal I can heel-toe much more easily than before. Clutching is faster and smoother because of the increased surface area. The only thing I do not recommend is going barefoot, unless you have leathery soles.

I will provide proof with pictures once I get the third pedal in. If you do this installation, it might benefit from some blue (low release) lock-tite on the threads as you finalize the tightening. This will ensure a positive hold and the ability to release should you elect to do so in the future. The bolts are long in the kit, this helps with installation as you can't fit a second set of hands down there (unless you are very friendly). I will more than likely shear them down to 3/8" or so and use cap-nuts just in case I put my feet under them.

PHOTO UPDATE:


Not the best image quality, but I really love the feel and the adjustable brake and accelerator pedals. Keep in mind not to mount the accelerator too low though. Also the clutch pedal will need the bolts on the bottom trimmed so you don't put a hole in the carpet.

So the large gass pedal fits well, no problems with the size? I have the CVT and have been worried about whether it would or not. Seeing as how the small accelerator that is recommended is impossible to find.

I can't speak for the CVT specifically. I have reduced clearance from the husky floor mats as well. Just make sure that when you mount the under plate that marrys to the OEM pedal that you do so about dead middle or even slightly high. You will understand when you get the kit. If you have questions just message me.

Also, there are spacers to kick the bottom of the accelerator up a smidgen. They are not required, but could work for you depending on your height and shoe size. I installed the shorter of the two nylon spacers.
