this sounds really lame, but when i was practicing more actively at smoothness i would hang a key chain (you could use anything with weight) on a long string from my rear-view mirror. i would always try to make the weight hang, without swinging wildly, in one direction or the other. same principle for smooth shifting, up and down.
i've also noticed that my brake pedal smash-tactics differ greatly based on seating position. i'm way more controlled when i'm positioned so that i contact the pedal towards the last 50% of the arc of my foot motion, if my heel is planted on the floorboard and i'm using the ball of my foot to contact the pedal.
