You know it's bad when a Browns fan feels sorry for the 'Skins fan.

Augmented pedals are compensation for driver technique and or a pedal height/ relationship setup that is off.

I adjusted my brake pedal height after changing to a GT3 master cylinder and low boost brake booster. Firm pedal and decreased travel put the brake pedal much higher when 'all in'. Adjustment is under the protective sleeve between the booster and the firewall.

On more hopefully helpful tidbit.
I've had success teaching a few students HT by having them practice in stages. On the road, typically on off-ramps or anytime slowing down the car (note, not braking), just practice shifting to each lower gear (5->4->3) and rev matching to that next lower gear without braking. It helps the student understand the amount of gas needed to rev match. Then start doing the same thing while braking. It's a simple practice exercise that's fun and ingrains a behavior into the brain and helps the student understand what's happening in the drivetrain / engine.

I've been practicing 3 > 2 and 6 > 2 on a few lonely roads. It's coming along but my next instructor will be the judge of that.

Its sort of funny/interesting how things change but stay the same. Years ago we were installing metal or plywood pedal extensions and wearing wrestling shoes. Now its a fancy thing and/or software. I sound like an old guy now!
