4th gen vs. 3rd gen t56 pedal questions
so I know this topic is pretty much beat to death..
functionally I know the difference between 3rd gen vs. 4th gen pedals, my auto-t56 swap has 4th gen pedals.
what i'm curious about is pedal positioning - i.e., is one setup or another easier on the legs? do the pedals end up in a different spot (left, right, higher, or lower?) depending on which one you use?
on my car (original gas pedal, 4th gen brake/clutch) it feels like the clutch and brake are too far over to the left, so i was wondering if 3rd gen pedals would be different.
any comments or pictures of a stock 3rd gen pedal setup would be helpful.

The way I understand it is the 3rd gen pedels are a bit closer together then the 4th gen pedels. If you have bigger feet you may like the 4th gen pedals better.
Also the 4th gen pedals have the gas pedal with them as an assembly. So you have to cut it off. No big deal though. The 3rd gen pedals, will bolt right in. Duh....
I personaly have the 3rd gen pedals, but I have big feet, (6' 7" size 14 shoe) but I havent had problems with them yet, but I havent tried the 4th gen pedals either.
