Adam it seems like your pedals are even? My gas pedal is down behind the brake a ways thats what really makes it hard for me. Did you use a spacer or something or am i just being deceived by the pics?

every Z - in fact, almost every car I can think of, the gas pedal is lower than the brake pedal - safety thing I'm sure

thats kinda what i thought must have just been the photo. That would make for easy heal toeing if the gas was even with the brake, for me anyways.

well, when you have the brakes mashed, the gas pedal is even with the brake. if it was even just sitting there, then when you would have your brake pedal mashed, the gas pedal would be higher than the brake

Yup, at the track, it's more natural. Depending on how people move their feet, a pedal spacer can make HT a lot easier.

so i got a chance for some real heel n toeing this weekend on a twisty back road, and its *infinitly* easier to do it. i'm by no means and expert (not even close) at heel n toeing, but i managed to do it with relative ease everytime i tried it!!! this pedal pays off *huge*

i highly recommend it to anyone to ever has any need to heel n toe

wow, just what the dr ordered for me. I have a small foot (us size 8-9) and attempting getting heel-toe down at the track was getting frustrating and somewhat dangerous. I think this will help out a decent bit.

Order placed.
