Default Shortening Brake Pedal Throw

Like the title says. I was wondering if there was a way to adjust how high the brake pedal sits or to shorten the distance it travels. I searched and couldnt find anything. Plus if you can do it with the clutch pedal too that would be cool. Thanks.

There is a pedal stop. Just be careful not to reduce the free play too much or you will be applying the brakes all the time.

New components, i.e. pads,shoes, etc..., as well as a real good brake-bleed procedure with new fluid, usually does wonders for brake pedal "feel" and/or "travel". Faulty components can also include leaky calipers or a faulty master cylinder/brake booster. Be sure to check all. Good Luck.

I second Joe.... I changed my calipers to a psir of rebuilt ones, and the brakes completely changed -high off the floor, stiff feel, way better stopping. I could depress it right to the floor before.
