Available manual steering rack upgrades?
I've decided not to run power steering on my LS6 swap.

With that being said, I'm wondering what type of manual steering rack options are available for the FD......

I was going to build a custom beltless PS system using a hydroelectric PS pump that I acquired, but have since decided to keep things simple and stick with a proper manual rack.

I had my rack converted to manual a few months ago and at first I hated it. It's a street/track car. I've gotten used to it now and it doesn't really bother me. And yes, the increased road feel is nice on the track.

If my car was only street driven or a daily driver I would NOT do this modification.
