So are you bow-legged, pigeon-toed, or flat-footed?

To answer your question, I've never felt the need to adjust my brake pedal. Positions are pretty much ideal from factory.

Projekt is right, the way it comes from the factory are ideal, i mean the s2000 is a racecar from the factory, but if you want to adjust it then lookin in youre owners manual er search the web hope you find what youre looking for

members here are saying they haven't found a need to adjust it. Compared to BMWs, there is a bigger gap b/w the gas and brake pedal which makes heel/toe'ing more difficult than say an e36 m3. However, I've gotten used to that gap and don't need to adjust the brake pedal travel.

Maybe someone here will chime in if they adjust the brake pedal but I don't think that'll happen since most people will adapt.

thats not teH reason why BMW are difficult for heel toeing... the gas pedal is held from the bottom compare to s2000 which is on top.. i use my toe for brake and heel for gas on my s2000 but its difficult for my M3.. now i have to use half of my foot for brake and half for gas and just kinda tilt it to rev match...

E36


E46

my friends BMW is easy to heel to toe! my gti is easy to heel to toe. my s2000 is harder because of the gap and i have a big foot. the fact that the gas is still way above the gas pedal when compressed along with the distance is no good to me. i can stiil get the job done but i dont find it fun to tweak my leg. that is the reason i wish to adjust my brake.

kuz u cant drive...

the pedal is a easy fix.. just knock off the bottom end and make a plate to put a floating pedel, did it all the time on Datsun 510's since they are like the Bimmer from the factory!

im am not asking for a lesson on how to heel to toe. not knowing how to heel to toe is different than it being uncomfortable to do it. it was a simple question. stay on topic! if i want lessons ill ask for some

we have stayed on topic but you insist on "adjusting" the brake pedal.. if you can not adapt to the way the layout is then i guess your **** outta luck.....
