i dont know if its just me and my car but is anybodies gas pedal lower than their brake pedal? That is to say that the gas pedal naturally sits as if its being lightly pressed down. It makes heel toeing hard lol

When you step on the pedal hard enough, ie, when racing, the brake and gas pedal are at the perfect relative heights for effective heel-toe. No need for any height adjusters. Some people who don't or can't swing their heel out far enough like to fit those gas pedal extenders to bring the two pedals closer together, but they are not necessary after enough practice. Like so much in this hobby, there is no better bolt-on accessory to make you a better driver than just seat time and practice.

I find that there are people that swing the heel over, and ones (like myself), that tilt their foot to blip the throttle. It's us tilters that need the extra pedal width.

yeah I realized that in racing the pedals probably line up, only thing is I dnot usually brake that hard so for coming to a slow stop the pedal doesnt sink as much, i dont really need them closer per se. Ive been driving around a lot, starting to get the hang of it but my buddies e46 m3 pedal spacing is much easier for me, guess ill just have to get used to it

I'm certain I saw a relocator somewhere that would push the gas pedal out and then you can move it. Verus maybe?

Installed White differential inserts. It's amazing what some poly can do for feels. I'm very pleased with these and the rear subframe inserts.

Steering rack is next!
