Best gas pedal
 
Heel and toe is annoying in the brz it's doable but takes too much foot gymnastics I'm looking for a pedal to mostly raise the location and move it over to the left a bit

There seem to be quite a few here that might do what you are looking for. http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/cata...?cat=0&q=Pedal

haha.... :slap:

Depends on the size of the feet. I had the opposite problem driving a friend's who had the cusco kit.

From my experience best bet would be those pedal assembly spacers, that not just relocate closer to brake pedal, but also rise it.
There is one caveat to those - spacers work well with stock pedal, but if combined with aftermarket ones that are longer and wider to left, then combo gets too close to brake pedal, and it's easy to misspress.
Both ease heal & toe, but preferred spacer route. At some point had also Neoplot pedal, but after trying out all combos, left spacer (PST) + stock pedal. If buying now, probably would get Velox's spacer kit. It relocates pedal by similar amount as PST's, but it's cheaper & has extra adjustability.

I had the same problem and think pedal spacers are ridiculously priced for what they are. Decided to try the SRP pedal first and it works beautifully. Well priced and looks OEM:

Spacers also look OEM. As in - you don't see them, just pedal is where it should be if not all those sudden acceleration lawsuits :)

Does it raise the pedal at all?

Yes. Before committing, though, I recommend practicing threshold braking. You may find that the brake pedal is actually pretty well matched to the gas when you're properly laying into it.

Wait a minute... That's exactly what I said. Brake harder and it lines up near perfect.

If you don't want to spend money on it, I used to press my toe on the brake lever above the pedal in my SAAB which actually lined up pretty good. Not sure how that would work in a brz though.

Oops! I'm a dufus. Yesterday, I wasn't sure what you really meant and just intended to validate OP's question.

Today, after the conversation steered towards spacers, I thought about how it would affect my technique. I realized I wouldn't like it.

...for the same reason you stated yesterday. :bonk:

Lol no worries dude. You explained it better than me anyway. For the record, I was also being a bit of a cryptic **** so the slap was appropriate. :thumbsup:

I totally agree with you, though. The heights of both seem just about perfect for the late braking downshift.
