Thanks. I'll keep the NIXIM for now as I still don't think that's even stiff enough. I'm thinking of upgrading to an AP Electrix or Ricmotech brake mod. Hmmm...

I just ordered mine based on this thread.
I haven't ever plugged my G27 in yet.
But based on the recommendations here, I might as well get this mod before I hard mount my new wheel and turn GT back on.....
I know what Logitech pedal boxes are like, anything that helps is a good investment.
I'll review after I actually get to use it.
Thanks to GTP for making me aware of the GTEYE.....

Ok, so I got mine this morning in the post.
Just a spring in a bag in a jiffy bag, but definitely an improvement over stock.
Is it worth £18?
Maybe not.
But it depends on how serious you are about your sim racing I guess.
The spring gives you a brake pedal with a much better feel to it, meaning you can have greater accuracy while driving.
Installation was easy once I went online to read the instructions.
Might be an idea to include some with your packaging, I think, GTEYE, but I found my way around your site easily enough.
The instructions are clear and precise, and it's pretty common sense stuff, as long as you have an Allen key and a screwdriver with a small Phillips head, or cross head as some might say.
Took a few minutes to get the pedal box apart, and back together again with the GTEYE in the brake pedal, and the brake pedal spring moved over to the clutch pedal.
Control over your vehicles is instantly improved, with you being able to gauge the severity of your braking with much greater accuracy than before.
This opens up a better sense of speed in GT6, which is something that has always been lacking.
Realising how hard you are having to brake to slow the car down, tells your brain how fast you must have been travelling in the first place, which adds to the realism of the moment.
I am not an ABS - 0 kind of guy, but it imagine that this addition to my G27, would mean that I can maybe adjust to that setting in the future, should i wish to.
All in all it's a no brainer, as long as the price point is something you are comfortable with.
If you have a G25/7, then you should get a GTEYE.
My only gripe is that it is a little highly priced.
Throw in some printed glossy instructions, and a throw away Allen key and screwdriver to aid installation, and I'd say it's a bargain. As it is, it's a must have if you're serious, and a good idea if you're a casual racer.
I will be telling all my online colleagues.
We'll done GTEYE.

Hi VEXD, Thanks for your honest review.
I`m glad that it helped you out and you can find improvement in your setup.
Just to clear a few things up, in regards to the instructions, in order to keep the price as low as possible we email a copy to everyone that purchases a spring, including yourself.
That brings us to the second point which is the price, please keep in mind that this price does include the postage, which as it`s origin is from Australia therefore subjected to one of the worlds highest postage rates. Add this to fees from eBay, Paypal, currency conversion and of course the production cost of the spring, the $29.99 price tag is necessary.
The last thing we want to do is inflate the price further with fancy throw away packaging, and we certainly did not want to compromise the quality of the spring itself.
Thanks again for your feedback and recommendations, it`s this feedback which helps us to ensure the product provides the best satisfaction possible.

I see this is a current thread.
Has anyone had recent contact with Nixim? I ordered springs from them a coupla weeks ago, and haven't heard a thing. My PayPal account was charged. I sent an email two days ago, with no reply.
Are they still in business?
Thanks for any info,
Drake Christensen

I have a quick question. I use Assetto Corsa. Do I have to change pedal setting here after I install the spring?

Basically, no. The pedal travel is unaffected, your PC and software is unaware of the pedal modification. However, due to the changing rate of pedal compression, the brake gamma curve can be adjusted to suit your needs as desired.
The Brake Gamma adjusts the linearity of the pedal, a higher number setting results in smoother but also slower braking response.
As each individual person can have a different style and foot pressure, there is no single answer to suggest for you, but over time I recommend to test different settings and find a figure that works for you, however in AC it is generally recommended to leave it at default unless you have a load cell. Its also likely that the brake curve will have different advantages for different vehicles depending on the braking efficiency of that vehicle.

They replied my email last month one day after I emailed them. I chose GTeye anyway.

They ended up replying, and my springs showed up that same day. So, they're still up and running.
Installed them, and I'm happy with them.

I play AC with the GTEYE brake mod and it's true that different cars can benefit from different setups and only through a bit of trial and error will you find what works for you. I have different setups for older cars that I heel and toe with, for modern race cars, for modern street cars and for some individual cars. That's not because of the brake mod, but because the ease of lockup varies between cars and tire models and I brake differently when using the heel and toe method. Experiment to get a feel for it and you'll find what works for you.

Question,
Does anybody know if the wiring of the g25/27 pedals the same as the pedals for the dfgt? I know there's a 3th pedal, the dfgt doesn't support, but for the brake and throttle, can be the same wiring/colorscheme ? A year a go I've made the Thrustmaster pedals working with my dfgt and it works properly well. I like it a lot better.
But since a week or so I've been thinking to use the g25/27 pedals and make the 3th pedal as my handbrake pedal for quick turns and hairpins. I'm curious this could work on the dfgt?

We did a bit of extra design refinement at the eleventh hour, but the springs are in production now. They should finish coiling in around a week, then off to the coaters for the same, then we begin distributing the springs to our worldwide locations. At this stage i hope to have them ready for sale around 2nd week of May. A little bit longer than originally planned, sorry, but they need to be perfect.When would the new additions come out? I have been checking your website and this thread every 2 hours over the last few weeks lol

Just curious, is it just me or is it more expensive to order directly from the US supplier than from the AUS supplier?
Interested in purchasing but will wait for the new springs to arrive so I can purchase all at once.

All orders are processed centrally by GTEYE, and posted from the most logical origin, in your case from within USA.
Currency is the only thing which varies the price, choose the currency which works best for you.
PS. Throttle and clutch (Full spring set) will be ready for sale within 2 weeks.

Impeccable timing. Was going to order just the brake spring, but then I saw the last post from GTEYE and quickly did the math that today was the day.
Just placed my order for the entire set
One thing I'd like to add. Since you have international customers, might it not be wise to display that it's AUD, not USD? AUD was about $20 USD cheaper for me, converted to my currency.
