C70 sport pedals?
 
Hello,
I just bought a 2010 C70 automatic and love it, but I have one small problem. The gas pedal and the break pedal are quite close together. This is complicated by the fact that I wear size 14 shoes. I barely have enough space to get my foot off the gas and onto the break.
I am considering replacing the pedal pads with either the Volvo sport pedal kit or aftermarket Billet pedals. I hate to order these without knowing if the brake pedal is less wide than the factory rubber one. Does anyone have experience with this or can recommend a pedal replacement that is indeed smaller than the factory pad? The other thought I had is to order the manual transmission kit but suspect the pedal itself is also smaller and the pad would therefore not fit.
Any suggestions would be most welcome. I think this issue could become unsafe and I would like to remedy it short of taking a sawzall to the brake pedal of my almost new car!
Thanks,
Pat

I have the S40/C30 sport pedals. Had to do some cutting on my stock pedals since they were larger. Automatic and manual pedal kits are different. Install manual warns that the sport pedals will be smaller.

Thanks. I went ahead and ordered the sport pedals from the dealer. I did order the AT ones and hope they are at least a little smaller than the factory rubber ones.
Thanks,
Pat

Pat,
How did this work out for you?

They look nice and they are a bit smaller than the other ones. I think they were an adequate solution.

Pat,
Thanks for the quick reply. I think I'll give them a try.
