I've read that if you don't connect it up it will be mostly rwd, don't no if this is true? Is connecting it up something is be able to do in future with more parts?

That's a new one on me... 
Got any part numbers for us ?
A DCCD box will send 65% of the power to the rear wheels. This is a good thing, if you want to minimise the understeer caused by the early six speed having a 50:50 power split.

A simple Neetronics controller needs five wires ( 2 to the gearbox plus power, ground and a handbrake switch.) and some setting up, and you are sorted, if you have a DCCD box.

Well I've found out today that my gearbox has a 3.9 diff and my rear diff is a UK 3.54, they are ment to match up because of the drop gear (what ever that is) is a 1.01 where as a jap box is a 1.1, so its ment to match lol...

As I said before I have a 2001 bug wrx and I have a uk 6 speed DCCD with my 3.54 wrx diff which is a match as the drop gear is 1.1 in a uk box . I would go for a uk box as the gearing will be better as the 6th is about the same as 5th in a 5 speed.

No wonder I couldn't work out why you had that ratio and a US box. If that's the case you need a UK sti 6 speed, the cradle, propshaft and linkage
That's what I run in my classic with a classic UK 3.54 rear diff
