Default pedal placement

I think ive heard somewhere that the brake and the clutch pedals are supposed to be placed at the same height. My clutch is about 2 inches higher or longer than my break pedal which makes it extremely long. My brothers (same year mustang) clutch is about 2 inches under his brake pedal. I cant stand how long it is it makes my shift much longer than they should be. What can i do to make my clutch shorter?

Is the steeda or maximum motorsports clutch quadrants or firewall adjusters what I need to shorten up my clutch?

Steeda offers a quick release setup that makes it move the clutch faster in and out.

Is that what the clutch quadrant things do? I've always wondered what it benifits are of thoes things. But if it helps engage and disengage the clutch I might need to buy one. I was thinking today that I need to raise my gas pedal.

I have the MM clutch height adjuster (along with the quadrant and adjuster)...

it's a great part and makes shifting a lot easier...my knee no longer as to bend out past the steering wheel

Yes and in fact, that's all that MM recommends.
