Question on Razo pedal....
I have a tiptronic 99.5 A4 1.8TQS.
When I shop for the Razo brake and accelerator pedal, I noticed that they have small and large size. What should I buy for brake and accelerator in order to fit in my automatic A4??
Thanx if someone can reply me.

get the large sized accelerator otherwise ....
the stock plastic(?) accelerator pedal will stick out at the bottom. tacky. i didnt know there were different sized brake pedals.
i can't remember which exactly but i'm pretty sure it was the clutch pedal. i had to drill a hole in the razo mounting brackets to get the damn thing to fit on. i also had to cut a 1inch slit up along the underside of the rubber cap on the brake pedal to remove it. the whole installation actually took me 45min!
get a shift **** too. it'll feel like a completely different car.

Very difficult to install (more)
I don't know about others' experience, but I installed the large Razos on a friend's car. They were a real pain to install. The hardware is just so small that it's hard to get everything to fit. I had a really fun time trying to get the tops of the pedal pads to clear the arm part of the clutch and brake pedals. That took a long time to get right. I don't want to do it again.
The accelerator was a nightmare- the pivot mechanism makes it nearly impossible to mount the accelerator.
On my car, I got the Sparco pedals that you have to drill. Much nicer than the Razos and much cheaper. I'll take a beautiful $40 set of pedals over an overpriced $55-80 set of pedals anyday. Of course, you have to drill and tap the pedals to install the Sparcos, which can be a pain. The great thing about drilling them is that you can place the pedal pads perfectly, which is something you cannot do with the slip-on design of the Razos. Of course, the AT pedal set would be simpler to install, but YMMV.
