I am looking fora pair of pedals for my race bike that have a shorter axel. I want my feet to be closer to the crank-arm.
Any suggestions?

You can get Crank Bro's eggbeaters or candy's and then they offer a Ti spindle upgrade kit for them with a shorter spindle length, that's what I'd reccomend.

Yup, you can get the spindle upgrade, or just buy the Eggbeater 4ti's that already have the shorter spindle. 
Does Crank Bro. Have the upgrade kit?
Have your LBS order it for you. It's in QBP.xcracer87 said:
Oh man its $100 for the spindles!
For the ti ones?
Yes the gold Ti ones.
i ride using crank bros. eggbeater C's. I don't think anyone should pay that premium price to lose some grams on some pedals. cromoly is actually not that strong, but don't get the expensive ones. I have a pair of Shimano SPD's 504 or 505 or something that are pretty much brand new (i just used the once to see if they worked). $25 for them if you want.
eggbeaters are easy in and out though.

Well if they're going on your race bike then it probably would be worth it to save some weight where you can, since grams add up ya know. And I'd say the Crank Bros. have the shortest spindle on the market, unless you count road pedals.
I dont care about saving weight on my pedalsI just want shorter spindles. I can save weight some where else.
