93LSOwner Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 My Lexus and my brother's Acura Legend have very stiff gas and brake pedals. My parents have a 1996 Camry, and both of its pedals and steering wheel are very very soft, the softest I have ever encountered. The Legend's pedal are the toughest of all of the cars and the steering wheel. The Lexus pedals and steering wheel is stiff but not quite as the Acuras. So, is there a way to loosen the pedals and probably the steering wheel. Because with stiff pedals you can't realy take off from Zero very smoothly as with loose onces.

BlackSC4 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 93lsowner, i agree that the camry's have very loose gas/brake. i have a 99 v6 camry, and its super sensitive and loose. i dont think you can get that on the ls4. i tried to adjust the tightness of my sc400's throttle, but it can only go so far. with luxury cars, i dont think the makers want that sensitive and loose feel, they want the smoothness more. if you come up with something, post it, i'll be interested.

K9crew Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 The resistance felt in the gas pedal is a function of the tension on the throttle body return spring. It's possible that you could modify or change the spring to get a "softer" gas pedal. I doubt that a Camry return spring would fit an LS400 but you never know! I do agree with you that the gas pedal doesn't quite feel right but then again the same is true for the shifting stratedgy of the transmission (in my car at least)! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93LSOwner Posted February 27, 2004 Author Share Posted February 27, 2004 Changing springs, etc..., I don't think I will be going that far. I was just wondering if there was a screw or two to losen up or something like that, but thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
