Default Brake pedal height adjustment?

Hello.
I switched from a C6Z06 to a C8Z51 this March. I'm finally getting used to the C8Z51, but I've noticed that the brake pedal is too high for me. I'd like to lower it a little, but how can I do that? I don't know how. Can someone tell me?

I have never seen an adjustment for the brake pedal on any production car.
I think you are stuck with it as is.

How good are you with a cut off tool and a welder?

To no avail I have wished for a euro car or race car type set up with all pedals at the same height. In the US we are too clumsy to have this.

Thanks for your reply. For example, the Subaru WRX

Finally,I removed the thick rubber cover of the brake pedal and installed an aluminum pedal that is commonly sold at car shops. I also cut out a wooden board and an aluminum board for the gas pedal and dead pedal, installed them, and adjusted the height to my liking. Thank you!
