Fiesta ST gas pedal lift spacer - Improve heel/toe technique

I made some Gas pedal lift spacers for the Ford Fiesta ST. I'm not a vendor, but I enjoy using my lunch break to make accessories for the Fiesta ST community.

The spacers are CAD designed and CNC Waterjet cut aluminum. The gas pedal lift spacer is 3/8" (9.5mm) thick. It is coated black and includes 2 serrated flange lock nuts. The gas pedal in the Fiesta ST is much lower than the brake pedal which not only makes the ergonomics somewhat uncomfortable, but also it makes heel/toe shifting a bit difficult and awkward to perform. The spacer lift is subtle, but its just enough to improve both driving comfort and heel-toe down shifting.

The Fiesta ST gas pedal lift spacers are $30 shipped. Just reply to this thread or PM me if you are interested in purchasing one.



Here are some reviews and comments from members on another FiST forum who have purchased my gas pedal spacers:


  • Been driving with your 3/8" thick pedal lift spacer for a while now and was quite surprised as to how much a difference it made....Has much nicer feel which fits my driving style as I don't think I'd want the pedal raised any higher than this....

  • Its a nice simple upgrade and makes a difference for sure. I can now actually downshift properly and its a great improvement over stock.

  • Thanks, this pedal spacer is perfect! 3/8" doesn't sound like much but it made a big difference and anything more would be too much IMO.

  • Just got my spacer today and its a quick 15 mins isntall. Although it looks like a minor adjustment it definitely feels better to have the pedal closer even if you don't heel-toe.

  • I'm really happy with mine. Easy install, and it just makes enough of a difference. Keep up the good work!

  • Absolute perfection. It is incredibly well made, is completely invisible when installed and it just makes driving this car so much more of a joy. It fixes my one gripe about the driving experience and now I don't even have to think about my feet when downshifting through the gears.I frankly didn't expect any changes, but wow, was I surprised. This little spacer makes the whole shifting and driving experience better than ever, even for everyday driving. Great value for the money.

  • The spacer is amazing. How the car should have come from Ford

  • Great product. Shipped very fast. Makes driving spirited much easier. Instructions were great as well.

Wanting to try this - been working on my throttle blipping and the pedal position delta is a little tricky. BUT - I'm 6'-5", any taller folks out there have any issues with the spacer causing their right leg to be more bent due to closer position? Just asking..

Not sure if I could answer this as I am much shorter than you haha. I did however send you a PM with more info on purchasing if you decide to try one out.

Thanks,

Hello, I'd like one of these awesome creations please.

I'm 6' 3" and have NO issues with this at all. I've been running with this spacer for almost a year and with the right wheel / seat position everything is just fine.
