Thanks Kenchan, that is what I do currently but the only shoes I have that are wide enough are my running shoes and I normally wear Vans which are too thin to reach both pedals. That makes sense though as far as using it with full brake power as that is probably why the gas is a bit harder to reach to blip when only doing light braking.

Depending on the size of your foot/shoe, you might find that you need a little more pedal area. You can get some nice SRP Racing aluminum pedals for the Z that extend the gas pedal out to the left a few more mm, and of course you have a wide range of freedom on where exactly you want to mount the clutch/brake pedal to fit your needs.
Not to mention the improved pedal feel with a metal pedal instead of the rubber covers we have for the brake/clutch.
Oh and some good driving inspired shoes will help tremendously. Puma Drift Cats, Speed Cats, and Replicats are all great choices.  |
Thanks M4! That is great to hear you bridge the two pedals with the ball of your shoe as that is what I currently do, I don't know why I felt it was probably wrong haha.
I actually really like driving with my Vans due to great feel of the pedals through the shoe but I was looking at the Drift Cats when I was going to order a Snell '05 helmet for an Auto-x event.
Thanks everyone for chiming in, I definitely will take your advice to heart and hope to improve my driving with more practice.
