I say Steeda just from the looks of both. The Steeda looks to have a little better adjustment feature.

I have the MM adjuster. That Steeda one doesn't look like anything more than a bump stop for the pedal, unless I'm missing something. I know with the MM part you can move the pedal up and down, it's actualy part of the pedal arm and there is zero chance of failure or misalignment. It really looks to me that for the Steeda one that the pedal is just resting on the adjuster, hard to see. It's just hard for me to tell how the Steeda one works for me to give a good opinion on it, but I do know that the MM pedal adjuster works great. All my pedals are aligned.

does the MM one come with instructions for installation?

alright i go with MM, i always hear good reviews on their shit from you guys

01FR500 12-19-2009 08:02 AM

Thats because they have good shit. And not only do they come with instructions, they come with a group of people who will answer the phone and answer any questions you have about it. There is a reason I've got MaximumMotorsports number in my phone.

To be honest unless you are running a high performance clutch, something like a Stage 3 or maybe even a Stage 2, you shouldn't need a firewall adjuster. The stock self-adjusting unit works just fine... I don't understand what all the fuss is about.

If you replace the stock clutch quadrant with an aftermarket one from Steeda or MM, you need a firewall adjuster. Either that or a adjustable clutch cable, and that ain't a good idea.

this has nothing to do with adjusting the clutch engagement. It has everything to do with moving the pedal down to be in-line with the brake pedal. This is important as hell if you race much and you know how to do things like heel-toe and left foot braking. The MM part that we're talking about moves the pedal down so the transition from clutch to brake for the left foot is smooth.

The stock self adjuster takes up the extra slack very well but it does not allow you to change the height of the pedal where the clutch begins to engage (well... not in any real way).

and plus i am running a stage 2 clutch, but main reason i want the adjuster is to get rid of that shitty extra useless space that gives the pedal room to rattle up and down.
