Loving my S5 A8 ..... but I wish I could "heel & toe" on the Throttle / Brakes on downshifts. I'm finding that the engine braking and weight transfer on hard deceleration / trail braking is sufficient to risk the rear end coming around - particularly on the 3rd to 2nd downshift.

On my car the brake pedal seems too high in relation to the throttle.

Is the brake pedal height adjustable ?. Or raise the throttle pedal ?.

Or is it just me ?. .... I'd be interested to hear any thoughts.

I can't heel and toe in my 2013 Plus 8 (which i believe is the same chassis as the S4 or S5 Aero?).
Pedal box is super tight with my big feet, and the pedals heights aren't helpful either.
I tend to blip on downchange anyway so that's just habit, but either before or after braking depending on the exact situation on the road.


So no, you're definitely not alone.
I think most of the later Aero chassis'd cars are autos though so we're probably in a minority already :-)

Like you I insist on being able to heel 'n toe, even on my old working HiLux. On my current Plus Four I have actually shaped a piece of half inch plywood and screwed it to the accelerator to raise the level slightly. It works a treat and is in keeping with the use of wood in the frame. So, don't be afraid to mess around with bending pedals or adding height to the accelerator etc to get just the right setup.

I used to Heel and Toe my S1 ok… it was a bit of a faf but it was possible and used regularly on track days. Not tried the later cars with revised braking set-up.

I’m sure there would be a way to adjust the pedal if that was the issue.
