Need info on pedal assembly!

This didnt really bother me much since I was getting the car runing and tuning it, but, on my S5 GTUs, the gas pedal is 1-2 inch lower then the rest of the pedals. I've always owned S4s so I dont know if this was something regular on a s5.

I can heel toe in my s4, but on the s5, since the gas is too low, I cant hit it!!!.
I looked under there and there doesnt seem to be any adjustment for pedal height. Anybody have any clues?

Heel-toe works wonders

I'm only 3.5 years late responding to this post, but it's a good question that I've just resolved.

There's an adjusting bolt that functions as a stop for the go pedal downstroke, but as the OP notes, no adjuster for the pedal free height. My solution is super low tech, I just grabbed the pedal and pulled it up, bending the steel pedal rod a bit. Now I just need a "widefoot" pedal extender and it's a heel-toe party.

After these 3 years, Ive gotten used to heel and toe in this car.
It only took 4-5 months.....

I tried a wider gas pedal at first, but my foot just keeps hitting it by accident when I brake, so I took it off and just replaced the pedal rubbers
