Can all the pedals just be even?

    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.

      You probably know more about it then i do (I dont race), but from what I can tell, the mclaren f1 is all flush:



      And why would the three pedal setups like the ones tilton engineering offers be all flush?

        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.

          That's a surprising picture. Pedals are designed so that when the brake pedal is depressed it is even with the accelerator pedal. That being said I'm 6'3" and have no problem fitting in e30s. Take off your stripper boots

            Most aftermarket pedal assemblies also have 2 mc for the brake and 1 for the clutch.

            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.
