Looking for ideas on new pedal pads
I don't want the cheap slide on crap it scares me that it will come off when I really need the brakes. Any ideas?

The nicest ones I could find where by OMP racing. Post when you decide what to buy. I'd like to see what you come up with.

One thing about OMP's... Since they're descended from racing pedals, most or all their models are metal without any 'grips'. People always ask about slippery-ness when wet. I've never found them any more slippery than the hard rubber ones, but then again I always wear rubber-soled shoes.
OMP makes an accessory set of little rubber 'pegs' or 'studs' that you can insert into holes in some models to add grips. The (racing-experienced) vendor I got the OA 1000's from (I think it was MotorSpot? in California) said they'd removed the rubber grip set from their online catalog because the material was so hard it actually made the pedals *more* slippery for multiple people who'd used them.
My point? Metal's not necessarily too slippery; rubber's not necessarily 'grippy' enough ...
