RE: A4Q questions: Light steering and Can't heel and toe.

Actually it has a decent feel but the action is light. It may sound silly
but I got used to it pretty quickly. BTW many have suggested raising tire
pressure all around to 35 which also gives a better feel of the road.

A pretty common street car problem. I have wondered the same thing but
have asked myself (but not answered myself) if I should be doing this on 
the street anyway. What annoys me the most is that the car feels like it has
a lead flywheel, the rpms take forever to drop so that you can make a smooth
change. Drives me nuts as I switch between the Audi and the Lotus, they
are so very different. 

But I'm sure you're talking a homemade fix unless you can find an Audi whose
pedals you do like (sport coupe maybe) and then swap hardware.
