My clutch and brake pedal are the same height, but the gas pedal sits much lower (as do most). Anyone ever raise the gas pedal a little to make heal toe easier?

"Every day I learn how much I don't know"
Funny you mention, I've been thinking about this although last week I had an opportunity to go road racing and to my sadness the radiator shop repaired my leak and then moved it a little bit further down the tank and I couldn't go; and one of the guys was bringing a 2015 Stang .
I digress and maybe whining some....anyway I seriously thought of strapping a spacer to my right shoe heel ( ah, better not) but in short I'm about to change master cylinders to move the pedal down so I can heel and toe again. I think even modifying the brake pedal would be not that hard to lower it. But it would be safer to raise the gas pedal and as long as you inserted a stop for the pedal and a little longer cable it should work. I'm also putting in the clutch pedal lowering kit from MM too.

I have the MM clutch pedal adjuster in, it is nice, brake and clutch ate the same. Just need the gas pedal higher, not the same level as the brake, but higher.

I think it won't be too hard, the cable itself (inside part) just needs to be a little shorter. I think I will pull the cable out this weekend and just put another crimp on the cable to bring the pedal up some. I may build a throttle stop in the car so nothing gets bent as I push hard on the loud pedal.

I tried it a while back. With the gas and brake at the same height, I sometimes accidentally stepped on the gas pedal while applying the brake. They were too close together for my liking, and I don't even have a wide foot.
Find a set of SVO Clutch/brake pedals.
They are specifically set up for heal/toe driving.

I did not know that about the svo pedal set. I have driven them but never noticed that much of a difference.
I don't need them too much higher, a 1/2 would be plenty. I have been working on my exhaust, have not looked too much into the pedal yet.

can you space the mounting of the actual gas pedal with some washers or something? i never really looked at how its mounted, but maybe that will work, either that or bend the throttle arm lol
