basically its a locker kinda like a spool. good thing about it is it will give u the best traction possible at the track or on the street i guess. bad thing is u cant turn well at all with it, and, if u break an axle going down the track its gonna put u straight into the wall. be careful in ur decision. good luck.

ive know lots of domestic guys or guys that run 4x4 trucks that do this, but in a FWD car i would probably stay away

I have a welded diff in my car and it works great.. Perfect traction and you only have problems turning if your going at a really slow speed while taking a sharp turn.. I wouldnt do it for an everyday driver but it does work..

I would think that if your holding on to the wheel good enought that you should be fine, its the same as a spool.. Has anyone had a problem with breaking an axle with a spool/welded diff and hit the wall?

i dont know if it has happend to anybody before but if ur diff is welded and u snap an axle going down the track in a higher gear where ur acually up to speed it will put u into the wall. think about it, if u snap ur left axle, all ur power will immediatly shift to the right wheel, it will take a sharp left. its uncontrollable.
