You are highly likely to unsettle the balance of the car, and smoothness is the key to making progress.
On the track I'll heel & toe when hard on the brakes, which is particularly effective on rear wheel driven cars to prevent the rears locking.
Regards my ego, weren't you the one that suggested your bumper would grow smaller in my windscreen?
I would suggest if you are braking "heavily" you aren't doing it right. The purpose of downshifting and engine braking is so
you don't have to brake hard which loses steering control and, as you suggested, body control.
You're right, I don't understand Heel-toe. Perhaps with some more experince and age..................
As to my ego, it was an unbalanced suggestion but I thought since my right foot was mangled last Monday it was a fair matchup.
