I installed the Verus throttle pedal spacer last night. The Verus instructions are great and the install was pretty straight forward. This install can be done in 30 minutes easy. The only difficult part is really getting down there under the wheel to get the job done.
The gas pedal now sits basically flush with the brake pedal. I am still getting used to it. For some reason, moving the gas pedal an inch closer makes the gas pedal feel stiffer and the brake pedal feel softer. The Verus kit actually came with a note that suggests driving with the spacer for 2 weeks to get used to it before making a decision.
UPDATE: After having the Verus throttle pedal spacer on the car for a few weeks, I readjusted the clutch pedal height. With the throttle pedal in a higher position, it made the clutch feel too low with how I had it adjusted. I raised the clutch pedal up a few mm higher and the engagement point feels like it is in a better position in relation to the throttle pedal now.
I have had the pedal positions setup like this long enough for it to feel normal now. You need to be slightly more deliberate when you move to engage either the brake or gas pedal individually because they are in very similar positions now. The Verus piece definitely makes heel-toeing easier. You can just twist your foot slightly and press both the brake and the throttle pedal comfortably. This setup (Verus pedal spacer and clutch pedal adjustment) makes all the pedals feel even in height and the whole pedal box feels more natural.
