Are aluminium pedals dangerous?
#1
Was considering getting a set of STI pedals. But I have been warned they are very dangerous 'you catch your foot and end
up in the back of the car in front'. Have any of you experienced this? Would Subaru have fitted the MY01 with aluminium pedals if this were true (and the STIs)?

Brooks,
Not dangerous as such. Just that if you have wet feet on a pure ally pedal it is more likely to slip off.
If you are going to go for ally pedals, I would suggest you get some with rubber pads on the faces.

It's not our pedals that are the problem - it's our soles (of our wet shoes).
And I'm being serious by the way. Think about it - alloy pedals are only slippy when your shoes are wet underneath before we get into the car

Actually it would be the combination of the type of sole and the type of pedal (with water in between) that is to blame for any slips.
Uh oh - I'm remembering lessons on coefficients of friction from physics at school.
