[s-cars] Adjusting pedals?

Here's a question for the collective wisdom of the group, specially 
those who have dealt with or removed their pedal assemblies in the past.

I'm trying to find a way to either shift the entire pedal assembly or 
extend the pedal arms about 1-2 inches closer to the driver (for my wife 
who is only 4'9" and ends up sitting far too close to the steering wheel 
and it's airbag).  I need to do this for both the our '99.5 A4 and our 
'93 S4.

I've tried to take a look at the pedal assembly in situ and in Bentley 
and ETKA, but couldn't get a really firm grasp on the mechanicals of the 
system without actually pulling it and disassembling.

Has anyone else ever run into this?  Anyone have any thoughts on the 
best approach to take?  Pros and cons of the two methods?

Oh, and it would also be nice to be able to level the accelerator pedal 
with the brake pedal to make toe and heeling easier (Audi has always put 
the accelerator pedal slightly lower than the brake pedal since the 
'unintended acceleration' debacle in the '80s).

Thanks!
-Dave
