HELP! Pedal Adjustment for Heel Toe braking

Has anyone adjusted their brake/throttle pedals to optimize heel toe braking? I can't come close to operating both pedals under hard braking. Fully depressed the brake is 2 inches under the accelerator.

Has anyone found a good solution?

I heel and toe and have no problems. I would bleed the brakes see if that helps.

I don't know if it would make the brake pedal go down a little less or not, someone else may be able to comment, but stainless steel brake lines might help. I have heard that they help brake feel a lot, makes them feel less spongy.

I had the same problem and good fluid and lines didn't help enough so I removed my clutch pedal cover, stacked it on top of the brake pedal cover, drilled three holes, and then bolted the two pedal covers together with some steel spacers from the hardware isle. It looks funky but it worked. If You don't have pedal covers already try Ultimate Pedals. They have a wider throttle pedal too.
