Hi guys, I have a manual 2018 gt that I want to do heel and toe downshift. But I find the brake is a lot higher than the gas paddle. Is there any mods I can do to make the movement doable.

Thanks,
Mike

The Steeda heel-toe gas pedal is cheap and one of my favorite mods. It doesn’t raise the pedal at all, but makes it wider so that it’s easier to blip the throttle when you press the brake.

That’s the other option, replace the pedal.

No issues here. I find the factory setup quite enjoyable for heel toe...

Any time I try to heel-toe, I nearly send myself through the windshield by applying too much brake pressure when trying to reach the accelerator pedal. Damn Brembos are touchy.

You understand what "heel and toe" means, right?

It's done under braking?

So, when you're braking, the brake pedal will be more or less even with the throttle.

During street driving with the brembos they won't be level. However on a track they line up better under heavy braking. There is very little brake pedal travel on brembo cars.

Honestly, it just takes practice to use a light touch on the street and roll into the gas for rev matching.

It do it all the time during my daily drives, I've never had any issue with pedal placement. Yes, it take experience, but I've never had any need for changing the pedal alignment, it's perfect.

Doesnt 18+ come with rev matching from factory?

spacecity aslo sells derlin spacers for the gas pedal which would "raise" it, making it level with the brake pedal.

if your braking pressure is enough the peddle relationship is very good. I find that the brake peddle is level with the gas once you press it enough.
