So for me the brake and gas pedals are too far off from each other in terms of height to make quick movements from the gas to brake. I have to lift my foot entirely up and back...

I am thinking of making a thicker stop to keep the brake pedal lower (adjusting the push rod accordingly of course) but that lessens the travel of the master. It may still be plenty (21mm.) I could add a spacer under the master to compensate if needed.

OR I could just take a bit out of the pedal as the top portion is almost in line with the direction of travel it would have no impact in terms of pedal ratio.

I don't have an issue with the height of the clutch pedal because its basically in line with the dead pedal/firewall area.

What have you guys done to get the pedals in an ideal location- not including Tilton etc.... not going that far.
