I like the Metalmaster too. They're inexpensive (relative to Performance Friction, Pagid, etc.) and create less dust. Bought mine from Jason at Paragon.

What, if anything, have some of you done to get the right distance between the brake and throttle to maximize your heel-and-toe?

Yes, tried the dealer, even tried the VW dealer. They don't keep them but said they could probably get one. Any recommendations on a parts house that might actually have one in stock?
