Mugen Sports Pedal Kit |
|
Purchase Location:
King Motorsports
Cost: $174.00 Purchase Date: July 18, 2000 Yes, that is a lot of money for sport pedals. If you think they are overpriced you are probably right. The reason I purchased Mugen pedals is because there is nothing else out on the market that look this attractive and fit so well. My motto with the Type R is buy the best or not at all (That is why I'm probably not going to buy more aftermarket goodies because Mugen stuff costs too much). Most aftermarket pedals use flimsy "fit all" brackets that strap the pedals over the stock rubber units. I had this style pedal on my previous GS-R and they looked a little better than stock but not nearly as clean as these. The Mugen pedal kit requires you to remove the rubber pedal covers in order to install them. This minimizes weight and produces a very attractive look that you can find on the Honda S2000. Here is Mugen's explanation for their sports pedal kit: "In mass-production vehicles, the accelerator, brake, and clutch pedals all have the same type of rubber surface. However, in formula machines, only the surfaces of the brake and clutch pedals are made non-slip. This is because in racing, where more demanding footwork is required, the accelerator requires exactness, but the brake and clutch require grip. Mugen believes that this also holds true for sports driving, in which nimble footwork is needed. With Mugen sports pedals, the accelerator has a wide front and rear with a buffed surface finish, while the brake and clutch pedals are small pedals with a nickel-chrome blown metal non-slip surface. All the pedals have a cast aluminum base. They are fitted by replacing the original rubber." |
