More brake boost?
I was just crusing around and decided to try some heel/toe practice.I think I have the right stance for me ,but I wish the brakes were a little stiffer.Is there any way to increase the vaccume to the brake booster and get firmer brakes? I have giant feet so I can't truely heel/toe ,have to use the ball of my foot and roll onto the accelerator ,so too much pedal travel on the brakes is making an already akward move more akward.Also ,would anyone be know of any regular street shoes that are good for sensitve pedal controll? I realy don't want to buy special racing shoes :D

Basically vacuum is 'maxed out' now. Besides, the booster 'assists' by making the pedal pressure less for you.
You would need a larger master cylinder to actually apply more pressure to the calipers. As for shoes, try a pair of those black 'slip-ons' with the thin soles. Like Bruce Lee wore in those karate movies. |
I've seen racing socks somewhere. Put on like a sock, wear it like a shoe...

in order for me to get good shift i have to slide my foot to the clutch and do the heel when releasing it sumtimes i drive jus with my socks to get better feel for the pedal but, i agree with mrnickley, if increase the brake boost its not good cuz the brake pedal wont have any feel anymore so its harder to know how much pressure to put in the brakes , but have u try the old converse all-stars? i thought i was crazy too, but they have thin soles and they are flat and flexible it actually helps me out when im driving |
converse all-stars
i agree with using converse all-star "chucks." i do drive much better with them than with my work shoes.

dem chucks man
them old skool shoes does the magic
i got the hi-top ones im gonna buy the lowcut ones for racing b4 the summer comes the next xhoice would be the nike air force ones lowcuts they work too since theyre soft, flat soled, and thinner than regular shoes |

These are the shoes I've been driving around in. They are really comfortable after breaking them in. And surprisingly I can feel the clutch pretty damn well with them. The are just kinda wide.
