Probably not solely an Astra VXR issue and maybe more a height thing but I thought I'd put it here anyhow.
I have noticed that one side of the brake pedal (the right side) is receiving more wear than the rest. This is because when I press the brakes, my right foot usually just catches the side of the pedal rather than fully square on.
I'm 6' 2" and my driving position is with the steering wheel up and out as far as it can go (to clear my knees) and I sit so that my arms are slightly bent and I sit in an upright position. The seat is in the bottom position and not tilted.
If I push the seat right back my right foot has more room to move around the pedals and I hit the brake pedal a bit more square on but for me I'm too far back from the steering wheel like this and don't have as good control over the car especially in tight turns.
Is this brake pedal 'wear' normal and is it detrimental in any way to the pedal box? How do other's right foot hit the pedal - at an angle like me or square on?
