Corey:

I've found that pedal positioning can be vastly improved by using two 
clutch pedals. That is, remove the brake pedal and replace it with 
another clutch pedal. This will move your brake pedal over about 2 
inches to the right. No other modifications are necessary, as the 
clutch pedal's clevis pin arm lines up perfectly with the brake 
master cylinder. This will facilitate those double-clutch 
heel-and-toe downshifts. The Sparco pedals are cool on the one hand, 
but a little too boy-racerish on the other hand.

Good luck!
