What suspension change did you do? Shocks/springs?

That's the first time I've ever heard that you need to reset the ECU for a suspension change!

To reset the ECU, you have to disconnect your battery for about 10 or 15 minutes. But why you need to do this after a suspension change is strange.

TCL is a dealer option. So, yes some FTOs come with TCL and it is switchable. The GPvR even comes with LSD as standard.

I suggest you go to the website http://www.mivec.co.uk. Good starter for all newbies!
