so, motoiq is occasionally useful:

from http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticl...ubaru-BRZ.aspx

"Since the stock electric power steering does not have enough oomph and fades in hard use, a Camry steering rack was used because it had the same mounting bolt span as the stock FR-S rack. To reduce bump steer and to increase rack travel, outer tie rod spacers were made to allow more rack movement and provide a solid steering stop to prevent rack overtravel. The spacers put the outer tie rod joints in line with the lower control arm pivot. Solid rack bushings were machined to get rid of excess slop."

They don't explicitly say what camry that steering rack is from, but I'm pretty sure it has to be rack #26-2630. Looking that number up in cardone's catalog lead to me finding that there's another rack that uses the same mounting centers, #26-2632, from the Toyota Avalon. The Avalon rack looks to be about the same ratio, with a slightly longer throw, or at least a little wider. Ordered a reman rack from Detroit Axle on ebay for $120 shipped.
