Should pedals be on the same plane?

[TheBassist]

I ordered some pedals for my 99 Eclipse (Sparco Corsa? Very simple looking). I'm hoping it'll help with heel toeing. Anywho, should pedals be on the same plane? Or should the gas pedal be that much lower than the brake pedal? My plan if the gas pedal needs to be set closer to the seat (in the same plane as the brake pedal) is to put some kind of spacer in between the stock pedal base and the new pedal.

Does this make sense, I feel like I did a terrible job explaining myself.

Thanks in advance.

Kinda confusing with your wording especially with using "plane" but I understood how you used it. In mine, the gas pedal sits a little lower stock.

Usually the gas pedal sits lower from every car I drove.

Agreed with both. Gas pedal is lower on all 3 of my vehicles.

"When the brake pedal is fully depressed, it's height should be roughly equal to the height of the gas pedal when it is not pressed. This allows for more comfortable and controllable heel-toe maneuvers".

One more question: Should I strip the pedal of the rubber grips down to bare metal, or should I install the pedals over the rubber grips?

Strip it down to the bare metal.

Strip it down to the bare metal.

If you want your foot to slide off when it's raining.. Even with the rubber my foot slid off from time to time.
