If you really wanted to you might be able to cut and rethread the brake boosters rod to get it shorter. And for the clutch drain the fluid out of the system and re bleed the system til the clutch is at the height you want.

Can all the pedals just be even?

And why would the three pedal setups like the ones tilton engineering offers be all flush?Your resource to do-it-yourself and interesting bmw and e30 stuff: www.rtsauto.com

With brakes on race cars, the brake pedal basically doesn't move: it feels like you're steeping on a brick. A car like the Macca F1 will have 3 separate master cylinders (front brake, rear brake, and clutch).
On a street car with a single MC and a large brake booster, the pedal swings down when you brake.sigpic

It would only really feel like a brick if you use larger bore MC's. .625 bore with a 6.25:1 pedals requires less then 60 ft lb of leg input force with a travel distance of between 0.5-0.6 inches.
I get what you are saying though, I am just not sure if I agree with it being a problem, especially for someone using it in a street car + looking to solve a distance problem because of height.Your resource to do-it-yourself and interesting bmw and e30 stuff: www.rtsauto.com
