Question Best 6 speed box?

Im looking to go 6 speed on my 97' WRX and was wondering which was considerd the best one to go for. Also is it a pain to fit if i go for a DCCD option?

Depends on what you want, The JDM 6 speed has the shorter 5th & 6th gears so better for acceleration but not so good for cruising, The UK Hawkeye 6 Speed has the longest 5th & 6th gears so better for the dragstrip, The first 4 gears are the same on all 6 speeds.

DCCD can be a pain to set up and you would need a controller for it such as DCCD Pro or neetronics etc...

The above is partly incorrect the uk hawkeye box has completely different ratios and is longer in all gears

Cheers guys. The car is mainly going to be used for track and the occasional weekend blast. So be looking towards better acceleration than top speed or crusing ability.
