Yeah I've heard about it being done. It's not a very good method but I heard it worked. I also don't believe it's legal for racing.

the bad thing is, if you do that, you will destroy your diff on turns. the idea of a differential, is to allow the inside wheel to turn slower than the outside wheel on turns. if you weld the spiders, or even do a prodrive spool, or equivalent, it is for track racing only.
