Default Problems doing heal and toe in S4

I find it almost impossible to do heal and toe in the S4 (even if I use my big toe on brake and little toe on throttle). The problem is that the brake and throttle pedals are too far apart for my small feet and the brake is too high in relation to the throttle.

Has anyone fitted larger pedal covers, does this help? I know on most cars you can adjust the height of the brake pedal. Can you do this with the S4?

Default Wearing big shoes helps (and so do size 13 feet)...

...it's still hard to blip the throttle though because the throttle revs upward so slowly.

Default Turning foot to about 10:30 angle works o.k. for me

So it really is your heel (or else try the side of your foot) blipping the throttle.

Default I used to need larger pedals .. but not anymore

Step on the brake with the left most ball of your foot... and just rotate your foot onto the accelerator.

Pretty easy... and pedal placement isn't really that bad... it's not perfect .. but it's very doable.

Good luck

remember that throttle by wire makes this hard, fuel flow is reduced with brake on

Not when the clutch is disengaged.

Yep, I do it by rolling... some pairs of shoes are better than others for this :-)
