Any picture or detailed info about changing the height of the brake pedal?

I used to be good heel&toe (bliping with the two side of my toe) with my 99 boxster, now with my new 2006 boxster S, the brake pedal is too low compared to the gaz and with the 'racing pedal' the trottle is very wide and close of the brake, so when I brake I often press the gas at the same time.. I need to bring my foot all over to the left of the pedal to be able to brake hard without pressing the throttle.. I guess by brighing up the brake pedal they should be at the perfect position

I use the side of my foot for "heal-toeing," on the street and on the track. My foot is too long to use my heal (my toes hit something up above the pedals). I made an extension on the side of my accelerator out of a chunk of aluminum that works great. Like yours, my brake pedal is too high relative to my accelerator. Surprisingly, my GM has the brake pedals in the perfect position when braking hard. It is exactly level with the accelerator and close enough to make heal-toeing really easy.

Personally, I think building up the accelerator might be easier than changing the position of the brake bedal.
