Manual is obviously a lot heavier, although if you set your toe-out and camber to the correct settings then it's not bad at all. I belive the actual rack mountings to the car are the same.

I ran the shorter rack on stiff suspension and sticky track tyres. Never had any issues with heavy steering at slow speed etc.
people just need to man up.

The bulkhead gromit/hole is larger on a pas rack as I now have a nice windy hole at my feet

Get a manual rack off a car with electric pas. Quicker ratio and makes it feel so much better. Quick rack, small steering wheel and sticky track rubber, not an issue on corsas. Light weight steering even unassisted
