6 Speed in a Classic (My00)

6 Speed in a Classic (My00)
My Gearbox blew up on me last monday and im looking at the 6 Speed conversion as its a great box and can handle good power so should suit my car nicely.
i have just read something about the hubs etc will be needed as well.
is this right or is that only if the Diff is off a particular Year.
for Example would the full kit from a 2002-2005 Sti fit my car?
Gearbox. Prop. clutch. linkages. diff
i was under the impression to do the 6 speed i would need the above not the hubs etc.
my car is a UK My00 in that case what diff does mine have R160?.....

theres a firm doing gearboxes as strong as the 6 speeds (stronger than the ppg) in the vendor for sale section, i think its scooby clinic, they come in at 2250 i think and look pretty good if you want to keep weight down, depends on what you want tho.

i love my six speed i wasnt sure if i was going to at first but i dont think i would go back to be honest, i have jap box nice and quick ratios a bit like an ra 5 speed box but with the 6th gear for better crusing on the old motorway

i went ppg, but as mentioned above would now have a clinic kit, as far as whats stronger, thats an ongoing debate lol treat them like crap and they will break no mater waht they are

i treated the box well but drove the car as it should now and then...
Hence the move to the 6 speed which will allow me to do the 2.1 Stroker or 2.5 Gt30 route.
also it went on normal (traffic) driving Second started making a noise then drove a mile or so then bang no second and hard to select other gears, it rattles like mad, untill i press the clutch in
