Default steering wheel center height

I need a measurement to help me set up my steering column brackets . I am fitting one of the corsa epas systems but need to know the measurement from the center of the steering wheel to the floor pan on a stock sierra based car.Also for those that already drive their cars do you think it would benefit getting in and out of the car if the wheel went up a tad from book?

Thanks.

Bob

If I remember, I'll measure it for you later.
I've still got the sierra wheel on my car and don't find it too hard to get in and out. You just have to slide down the seat.

I got into a friends viento and was surprised how small it was. He also had a smaller wheel on his car.
