What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Is there any functional advantage, other than cosmetic, to getting the brake and clutch pedals?

For me there definitely was. The rubber dots are grippy so your foot stays where you put it, the pedal contour more naturally matches the pedal pivot when depressing the pedal, the pedal surface area is slightly larger and the pedal shape is better. YMMV because these are subjective things.

Also, just to note that these pedals (with the accelerator extensions) may not be suitable for drivers who do not have experience with closely spaced pedals. If others drive your car, be sure to point out the pedal configuration. We don’t want any cases of ‘unintended acceleration’

Your comments are much appreciated oldcarguy (from another oldcarguy who first learned to heel and toe on my 1960 Austin Healy Sprite).

A 1960 Austin Healey Sprite was my first car and the one l learned to drive a manual on in 1973! My second car was a 1960 Austin Healey 3000. I still can’t heel and toe under anything close to maximum braking! But I double clutch out of habit!

Tracked down a brake dragging problem to front, passenger side caliper sticking and pistons hanging up. Ordered up seals, dustboots, and stainless brake line kit from Zeckhausen Racing.
