Ok, so I want to invert my pedals, and while I'm at it, I might as well upgrade the spring/s

Clutch I have no issues with, mainly because its strength is on the lower side of what I'd deem acceptable, but the standard brake's increase strength is too much, and tbh, I hardly use the clutch anyway because of its poor function in GT5.

Accelerator feels like it doesn't exist, and would like to replace it with another G27 Clutch spring, as I feel this would be perfect, alternatively, something only a marginly stiffer than the clutch spring, and I'd buy two and replace both.

The Brake. People talk about how a car's pedal travels, idk 30-40% maybe then doubles in strength, and having taken that knowledge when driving, I understand it and want to replicate it. I don't want to use a piece of rubber, because imo, it would perish much faster than a progressive spring, so that's the route I'd like to go.

The main piece is the inversion kit, if I could get this all in one package, that'd be great, I'd pay someone to buy another set of pedals and build it for me too if I thought it'd be economical, but somehow don't think it will, so finding this will be the trickest part, especially since I just want to unscrew, assemble and rescrew pretty much, I don't want to be cutting anything or custom making anything, if possible.

I'll look around at what others have done, the search function on this site has once again let me down, "G27" doesn't search, so I looked up "inverted" and "pedals" to little result.

Lastly, Load Cell? There's an AP Electric Load Cell Mod, but for $70 bucks? Seem a bit high, not sure about that, if everything else is cheap, I'll consider it.
 
more the first one, pressed against a sub woofer, but more free
 
I'm not aware of anyone that does an inversion kit, its pretty much a DIY job as far as I know. You have two options, remove the pedals from the casing and mount them or flip the whole lot over (you may have to extend the wires so they reach the right pedal, and obviously will need to swap the springs around)

I have the AP electrix load cell mod and I have to say that it is good value for money and does transform the pedals completely. The next step would be the perfect pedal but that is a lot of money...

I also used the nixim brake mod, progressive spring with rubber bumper, it also works well and is a step up from the stock pedal. The rubber bit really is essential though imo, the progressive spring alone would not give enough ramp up in feel.

FYI I also extended the pedal arms for more pedal travel and better feel when wearing race boots.
 
You could turn this [Link] into a freestanding mount, get a local tradesman/metalshop to add a weighted base and struts to complete it for a few bucks since you don't want to do it yourself.

Should look something like this when done.


The AP Electric Load Cell Mod is well worth the money, my biggest concern for you would be that your pedals would not be well anchored enough to stay in place with the braking forces required. :)
