As for manual racks:

USDM:
4dr DX
3dr CX
3dr VX

I believe the 2dr DX had p/s though don't quote me on that.

A power rack cross member has a notch where the rack bolts up for the larger diameter rack to clear.(the power racks are bigger around) where as the crossmember for a manual rack is flat where it bolts up,

People say you can loop a power racks lines together and its ok, but I personally don't prefer it. I like the more direct feel to the wheels that a manual rack has.....

Just my .02


I know a guy down here in va that did a manual rack conversion on a del sol without swapping subframes and everything bolted right up without modding anything. I just ordered one for myself.
