Probably not.
When you look at the gear ratios available for both the 5 spd and 6 spd, you can put together whatever suits your needs in either, but the 6 spd isn't much taller in 6th than the 5 spd in 5th, so you just end up with a closer ratio gearbox. I don't think I need any closer ratio and IMHO there is nothing to be gained for all that extra $$. I can think of much better ways to spend the at least $10K difference between a 5 spd and 6 spd....In fact Coz is doing just what I would do with all that dough, the Suspension and brakes... looking good brother, do I note a heim joint adjustable upper A-Arm? Which vendor is that from?
As I've said before when I rebuild my ZF I'll definitely go for the taller 5th and the only other change I'd make if I was flush with $$ at the time would be a 4.0 Ring & Pinion. Oh, I'll probably polish it, just to reduce drag
