I am still looking for appropriate springs to do the spring modification for gas and brake pedals... that is replacing the existing springs with heavier springs of same diameter. I am from australia and Bunnings stock the CSC (Century Spring Corp) range of springs... these are made in USA (Los Angeles)... Is there a spring in their range that people have used to do the modification? which one? Any aussies that have done this modification? What springs did you use? thanks steve

I wish I could help you out here. I replaced my springs and it was tough to find a pair to fit. The easiest thing to do is to bring the original springs with you and compare them in the store. Remember that you'll want to use a lighter spring for the accelerator, I find that the original brake spring inside the original accelerator spring gives just the right amount of resistance for the accelerator. Another worthwhile upgrade (IMO) is get a set of pedal covers for the pedals. I bought an inexpensive pair from an automotive supply store and they greatly enhance the feel of the pedals. I've purchased two pair of covers in the past year (for my car and LWFF) and both bolt on the same way. I'm guessing that the way they***on is fairly standard, so any set of covers should fit. Good luck... After the spring replacement and the pedal covers the pedals work FANTASTIC and look great too. -Andrew
