WRX pedal upgrade


Recommended Posts

Is it a performance mod? Hardly, but I'm not sure where else to put this.

 

Those of us driving lowly non-Spec.B Legacy GTs are stuck with the plain black pedals. I ordered the OEM WRX pedal pads only to find that the accelerator pedal is one solid piece of plastic, from the arm down. There is no rubber pad or separately-pivoting pedal (at least on the '08-'09).

 

So aside from the WRX clutch & brake pedal pads, I purchased a dead pedal from the dealer for $20. I then found that the 2012 WRX accelerator assembly is identical to the 2009 Legacy assembly. Two 12mm nuts removes the assembly, and the WRX assembly is plug & play.

Are there part numbers/options to do this upgrade to an 05 5EAT car? Not even sure if there is an auto brake pedal cover with this design...

 

I saw that you can get the pink STI pedal covers, but I would Love to get the alum pedals with black dots. They'd look great after I switch to black carpet.

Do you have a part number for the '12 WRX gas pedal?

I do not... I examined some photos from a guy on NASIOC & pulled the trigger. It's an exact match except for the pedal treatment. It is NOT the same part number as the LGT with a different pad, though; the total pad thickness is the same between the two.

 

Here's a 2011 set from eBay that would have saved me about $60: LINK

Was just wondering if it's the same part as the GRB STi...

The best I can say is that I saw drive-by-wire accelerator pedal assemblies that clearly would not work. Pedal 'arm' angles (lateral) were off. Bolt patterns differed. The '11-'12 (and maybe other year) WRX match up exactly.

 

EDIT: Here's another one that looks like it will match. It's advertised as a 2007 WRX STi assembly, and has a close-up of the Denso p/n:

That is correct. Bolt pattern, size, electrical connections, position, are all the same between my 2009 LGT and the 2012 WRX part I bought. I've been running it this way since I started this thread.

If you have a Legacy, you can open the driver side door, crouch down in the footwell, and have a look. It's drive-by-wire. One multi-conductor electrical plug. Same on the LGT as it is the WRX. It will take more time to open the door and crouch than it will to unplug the connector.
