Default Gas, brake pedal height difference

Hi All

I've got an A4 CVT which I love except for the height difference between the gas and the brake pedal. Does anyone know of any thicker or modified gas pedals to get around this. I have a bad hip from a bike accident and the A4 is actually getting painful to drive. But if I drive my wife's Accord for the day, with no major difference in pedal difference, my hip is fine.

Any thoughts?

Default You can have a spacer made...

and there may be some spacers available that will give an inch or so. Google 'pedal extender'.

But the reason for the difference is to give a 'tactile difference' between the brake and gas. Every since the 60Minutes crap, Audi has been very careful about this thing.

My old '83 Audi had a spacer fitted to raise the brake an inch, as part of some recall or thing. Took it off and several months later almost drive thru the garage!
