Lower brake pedal

Is it possible somehow to lower the brake pedal so that is becomes as high as the accelerator pedal? And another question, is there something to keep the button of the handbrake always pressed. You know, I love driving fast

Why would you want to lower it? The ideal setup is for the brake pedal to be parallel to the accelerator pedal when braking hard. This allows for easy heel and toe downshifts
My 16v is setup ok, but would be better if the brake pedal was a fraction higher.

I think for heal and toe I prefer if the brake pedal was a little bit more downwards :/ just a little. It is that thingy of the handbrake which I really would like to find
The dials are not so easy to fit, but then again, not so hard either. Problems involved where to take off the pointers and to screw/unscrew the black piece of the dashboard, the piece just infront of the dials.

you had to be careful with the needles tho right?
I've heard that if you move them they get all messed up n you get false readings n stuff.

yeah true, best thing to do is either to memorise where they are before removing them or get a digi cam and get a shot before start working on them

you could just remove the ratchet on the handbrake - but then parking might be an issue!

that is the problem. I need to find a button which acts like those switches which when pressed, they remain pressed, and when re-pressed, they pop out
