it's not difficult to install if you can use normal hand tools. Instructions are reasonably good. I just moved the driver seat back as far as it went, not worth the effort to remove it IMHO. Took me about 2 hours total; a pro should be able to do it in less.


I wish I lived closer ... I would come to the meet and let you try it out.

I can't wait to slap it on. I need some 3M adhesive, adhesive promotors, and some lower screws.

I'll most likely toss it on when I get my sport bumper on.

ahh I see... I am so definitely getting that RJM pedal assembly sooner than later(hopefully) but I don't think that's something I could do myself, looks a little complicated if you ask me !

Or maybe according to your statement, in fact it wouldn't be that hard with reasonably good instructions... ahh I so wish you pal or someone else with a RJM pedal was coming to the meet so I could see for myself what it's like but I'm 100% sure it's a whole world lot better than stock

You've swapped out the OEM clutch pedal spring for jsolo's spring, right? Not at all in the same league as a whole new assembly, but still a huge improvement.

Yeah huge improvement but the clutch pedal is still so unpredictable honestly...

Personally, I'm very content with the clutch pedal after swapping springs. However, I suspect if I were to drive a car with that RJM Pedal Assembly, I'd probably be buying one immediately.

Perspective is everything, so sometimes avoiding it works, too.

It's always humbling to see someone so self-aware.

Honestly it's been almost a year with my car and I still hate the clutch even with the softer spring.... can't ever get my gear shifts as smooth as I would want to every single time.... and pretty much any other car I wouldn't have a problem with after driving it for a year especially... such a PITA with this clutch pedal on our cars

@RexHavoc No, Chris I wasn't I just started looking into it and planning on getting one eventually... that one in classfields was $200 + shipping from canada and new one goes for $250 so I'd rather eventually opt out for a new one

Just had an excellent interaction with Nick over at KNS Brakes. Ordered a set of DBA 4000 slotted rotors and StopTech pads. Holding off on the SS lines for now. Going to do an almost full swap out once I get the new calipers back then sell a full "kit" for a BBK upgrade.

I have to stop finding things to do...
