Default Steering Rack Ratios

Hi Guys,
Searched all over the place but couldn't find this info.
Anyone know what kind of ratios are on the JDM GC8 version 5/6 STI's? ie: whether theres any difference from the standard MY99 WRX steering rack...

Cheers

Aus Spec WRX rack: part # 34110FE130 (16:1)
Aus spec STi rack: part # 34110 FE510 (15:1)
JDM Spec C rack: part # 34110FE440 (13:1)
The mounting method changes for '05 but the ratios are the same.

if your parts picking, visually GD racks have a finer spline on the steering input shaft too.

So the ra's are the same as the spec c's? Why are the spec c racks so hard to find and expensive as crap yet no one seems to says anything about the ra racks?
