Hey Chopperzz,
You don't need to explain this if it is an uncomfortable point for you, but before you dive into the deep end of adjusting pedals, describe why you need them.
I think that this group may be able to help you out with seat/steering wheel placement and set-up. It may be a lot easier then adjusting the pedals...
Being of Italian decent, I have the typical short in-seam, short arms, longer torso setup. Not as much as a Gorilla, but you get the point... anyhow, I worked and worked and worked, and found a set-up in my 924S racer that works really well.
So, let us know why you are considering pedal placement...

So the plan is to try and lower the recaro seat on the brackets. (maybe 1" there)
Then if I can find a way to add 1-1 1/2 on the pedal assembly this might fix the problem.
Otherwise, I need to hack the X Brace and potentially cut out knee brace under steering column as well. I hate to do this because the cage is real nice, if I was 5' 7".

Make whatever you need so that it's comfortable. First thing I did when my wife & I bought our e36 M3 racecar was make 2" pedal blocks out of plastic from McMaster Carr. Bolted those to the factory pedals then bolted some aftermarket pedal covers to them. Drilled a bunch of holes in them to make them as light as possible. Took a while, but I couldn't find anything pre-made to do the same thing. Wife & I both have short legs so we needed blocks so that we weren't so close to the steering wheel.
