Default race pedals kit???

does any one know of a company that makes a race pedal kit. im not talking about the cheap pedal pads people sell. im talking about somthing that will bring the gass pedal up to the same level as the break. so you dont have to strain your leg to give the gass a little blip before letting off the clutch to down shift while breaking?
i will also post this in power development under breaking (i have no clue where to put this)
any help will be much appreciated
thanx

I've been looking for the same thing. It is really uncomfortable due to the gas pedal being so far down.

I bought one of the cheap kits off ebay and it made a big difference in heel/toe. If you really wanted to raise the gas pedal, just put some kind of spacer under it.

No problem. I love to heal & toe. Some say it's over-kill with a T56, but I also double-clutch on every down-shift; but hey I never miss a shift. Anybody that drives a manual and doesn't know how to match revs is really missing the boat.
