Brake Pedal Adjustment for heel-toe ing?

I posted this in the tech section but thought it might get some more looks here...

I have an 05 6MT. I was wondering if anyone has or knows a way to move the brake pedal back, and/or move the accelerator forward. I've found that the brake pedal is too far forward to allow for downshift rev matching while braking. It's too hard to heel-toe the brake and accelerator. Hopefully you all know what I'm referring to. Has anyone, does anyone know how to do this? I want to be able to heel-toe the brake pedal and accelerator by having them line up pretty evenly...

I haven't really experienced any problems with the location of the gas and brake pedal. I can heel-toe just fine and I'm quite pleased with how easily this car revs when doing so. Are you wearing clunky shoes? Do you have really large or really small feet? Do you need more practice?

Instead of actually trying to HEEL-toe..roll your foot over and use the side of your foot/heel on the gas. This might help.

agreed with 2002ap1.

I haven't encountered any issues, although my right shoe rubs on the plastic seperator just above the brake/gas pedals, but it's not a biggie..

I dunno.. I am 6'3" and wear a size 11 shoe, although I don't think that's too overly large! I don't wear clunky shoes either. I have tried to roll my foot over the side of the brake pedal onto the gas pedal, but maybe it's just my legs or something but it's quite hard to "tweak" my foot that direction. That's why I was wondering if there's any mods for this, just to even it out and make it easier!!

Do you need more practice? Is your knee hitting the center console (ie...your legs are too long for the brake/gas pedal configuration)? How often do you heel-toe?

Use the side/side technique. the accel. pedal is too far down to get your heel on it while holding the brake.
