Default LS3 Gas Pedal Very High

The gas pedal is really high. Once mounted, are they adjustable? Or does it need to be re-mounted? I got the e-rod Connect And Cruise kit.

Can't it be mounted in a lower position?

Many of us modify the DBW pedal we're using (Corvette on mine) so that it puts the pedal where we want it. I cut the pedal off and bolted/welded part of my existing pedal to it - careful to attach it such that the "pedal" portion sits exactly where it did before the swap.

Thanks. Unfortunately the installer already installed it and they are out of business. It's about 3 inches higher than the brake pedal.

Well, that would provide a hint as to why they're out of business. Yeah, I've referred to well executed swaps as "death by a million details". This is one of them. It took a good bit of work and careful measurement to get Volvo gas pedal back where it was before AND operating the DBW guts. A lot of swappers don't bother OR it takes time (DIY) or money (someone else installing) to get it right.
