You can change the brake pedal height by adjusting the push rod behind the clutch pedal. Just remember to check your brake lights and adjust the switch accordingly. Now if I could only figure out how to hook these up to my pedal assembly, only $731USD.

The reasoning behind it is here. Quite some time later I'm still very satisfied with it
Oh, and the wood has been screwed on, not stuck or glued
Wouldn't want it to come off accidentally

I bought the race set (in black) and really like it. I got the standard black pedal shown in the photo above but replaced it with the fully adjustable one in black and it is great. I use the smaller lower wing as a larger one comes with it too but I found it too large with my size 11 feet.
Brian - honest - I'm not holding out. The car is the photo looks really nice (like the look of the steering wheel too) but it is not mine.
I wouldn't hold out on the group like that -- you people are the only ones who can understand why a US$250 accelerator pedal is a "necessary" purchase.

Here's an idea, try painting the wooden block add a logo or manufacture out of some exotic material, then sell for $100 !

This piece of wood was supposed to be a proof-of-concept/prototype to see if I wanted it any thicker/thinner or wider/narrower. As it turns out this feels just right, and I never got round to taking it out again and painting it black
By now I've gotten used to it, and I can't be bothered to invest the time in cosmetics
