suspended, hinged ones are always really long and i seem to push them accidentally (pulling the seat fowards -> crumpling the carpet against it -> WOT )

never tried something that wasn't suspended, but usually, they aren't suspend in fast sport car or supercar...right?

Mini and BMW have it hinged and it's fine. No probelms with carpets.

My choice is hinged at the floor. For me, they seem easier to use and these types usually have a larger pedal. (I like big brake and accelerator pedals.)
Of my 3 cars, one has the suspended type and the other two have the hinged at the floor, so I can compare.

I am also curious as to which of those two types cost more to build. It looks to me like the suspended type costs less since the hinged type is two pieces.

Yeah, I thought so, too. I wonder if cost is a factor?
