How to Choose Your Racing Pedal Box

Racing pedal boxes are one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to your car’s braking performance. But with several brands, designs, and price points available, choosing the right system for your driving style and car is essential.

What Makes a Good Racing Pedal Box?

The best racing pedal boxes share three core attributes:

  1. Easy Mounting and Maintenance: Competition pedal boxes can take up more floor space than standard road car systems, so a well-designed unit should compensate with straightforward installation and easy access for servicing. Quality systems allow maintenance to be carried out quickly, which is important when time in the service park is limited.

  2. Adjustable Brake Bias: Fine-tuning brake bias between front and rear wheels is crucial for track work, letting you dial in the optimal feel for different circuit conditions and driving styles. 

  3. Reliability: A quality pedal box should outlast the components attached to it. The best systems support dual throttle cable routing for redundancy. This is a simple but important failsafe for competition use.

AP Racing vs Tilton: What’s the Difference?

AP Racing Pedal Boxes: AP Racing, based in Coventry, is the leading manufacturer of performance brake and clutch systems; trusted across Formula 1, BTCC, and international rally. Their CP5500 is a billet aluminium floor-mounted pedal box used at all levels of competition.

Tilton Pedal Boxes: Tilton is the choice of many professional racing teams worldwide. Their 600-Series pedal boxes are available in floor-mounted, underfoot, and firewall configurations, each featuring a high-strength 7/16" balance bar and forged aluminium pedals with adjustable footpads.

Choosing between them: 

  • Both are professional-grade systems

  • Both are compatible with AP Racing and Girling master cylinders, all in stock at Race and Rally

  • Budget is a key factor. AP Racing pedal boxes sit at a higher price point than Tilton

  • Pedal feel differs: AP Racing's billet aluminium construction gives a firmer pedal feel, while Tilton uses forged aluminium for a slightly different response underfoot

Installation Accessories

Race and Rally stock bespoke installation accessories for both Tilton and AP Racing pedal boxes. Throttle cable linkages allow twin throttle cables to be fitted for better redundancy, with a CAM mechanism that delivers a smooth, responsive pedal-to-rev feel.

Brake Bias and Setup Tips for Track Days

Bias is adjusted via a dial or screw on the pedal box. Spend your first session getting used to the new pedal feel before making changes.

  • Start neutral (50/50) and note how the car feels

  • More front bias if the rear is locking first (oversteer under braking)

  • More rear bias if the fronts are locking first (understeer under braking)

  • Adjust in small increments (2–3% at a time) between sessions, not mid-session

Race and Rally stock Monit Digital Bias adjusters, which give the driver a precise readout of their current bias setting at all times. With traditional bias cables, there's no indication and the driver has to manually count rotations to track adjustments.

Track day coaches and experienced drivers at your venue are a great resource for car and tyre-specific advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a racing pedal box fit my car? 

Most floor-mounted pedal boxes fit cars with a standard fire wall configuration and accessible brake pedal area. Older cars, heavily modified vehicles, and certain race cars may need custom fabrication.

Are racing pedal boxes street legal? 

Racing pedal boxes are designed for track use. Legality depends on your local regulations and MOT requirements. Check your local rules before installation.

Can I install a pedal box myself? 

Yes, both AP Racing and Tilton pedal boxes can be DIY-installed for most standard applications, both brands supply detailed fitting instructions. Underfoot cylinder configurations or cars with unusual geometry may need more care.
