Default Pedal adjustments?

Is it possible to adjust the brake and gas pedals to make them a bit more even? I find it hard to successfully use heel toe unless im using the brakes very heavily

You could adjust the clutch pedal height if you buy an adjustable clutch pedal system for Cartek.

Here is link.

I adjusted my gas pedal by a piece of plywood. You can experiment with different sizes. Mine happened to be 1/4" thick and a little wider. Then just zip tie it on. Paint in black too.

Exactly that is the only time you really need to use both pedals at the same time. so that is the way it should be. If you manage to change it some how when you really need to do this it won't work
trust me when your on the track running out of room and need to brake and shift they are right! the rest of the time it's safer to take you time brake first, ease off the brake shift properly, and then ease into the throttle as needed.
