ISRTV Takes a Look at Different Pedal Tech

[Leadfoot53]

It's pretty remarkable how much pedal technology has advanced over the years. A decade ago, we were essentially limited to potentiometer based pedals, and now we have load cell, even hydraulic based units! I decided to take a look at the big three pedal technologies, to see how they fit in compared to real life brake progression:

What pedal set are you currently using? Have you installed any mods to make them more realistic?

DFGT pedals with foam golf balls : two balls under the brake pedal, which give a really nice progressive feeling (and you can stomp the pedal really hard) and a 3/4 golf ball under the throttle for more resistance.
Added a clutch pedal from a second wheel set, with double springs.

Using the Fanatec Elite pedals for now. Trying to find out how easy it would be to mod the break pedal with hydraulics. Load cells are better than pots, but still don't feel like a real car to me.

I don't have ClubSport V1 pedals myself, but this mod kit looks nice.

Clubsport v2 pedals here, with an improved brake pedal in the form of an upgraded Mugen shock absorber, 35wt oil and a GT-Eye spring (designed for G25/G27) on the shock. MUCH firmer than stock.

DSD Professional Grade Racing Pedals and very happy with them.
