Unhappy tilt wheel for the verticaly impaired?

i was wondering how much a tilt wheel in these cars tilt down? i cant tell what it is about the way you sit that i dont like... and yes its because im short (5'6"). are there racing seat brackets that raise the seat slightly? and would a tilk wheel help? i do plan on getting a smaller wheel, the stock one is huge!

You would probably be better off getting a different seat. I know some of the aftermarket seat rails and seats will sit you up higher than the stock seats.

It's been a while since I've seen an FC seat and mounts, but you could also use washers or something similar to raise the stock seat.

If you're looking for nice inexpensive seats, then check out Corbeau. I mean, it's not Sparco or Recaro quality, but I know that in an FD they do sit up higher than stock.
