Stiff pedal

Is there any way to make the gas pedal and brake pedal looser?

You could change the throttle return spring for the gas pedal. For the brakes, check the fluid level.

Why do you want them softer, btw?

I was used to driving a fly-by-wire fuel injected car and then I got to mine and realized how stiff the pedal was. It's real fun when you're used to having a lead foot in an f-body then you hop back into a little econobox with a feather-touch pedal and you're burning out everywhere for the first few goes.

Just deal with the pedal, unless it sticks.
