Default welded diff

would welding the diff in a front wheel drive car be worth it and would it make it handle like crap?

Not worth it. Will steer like crap and eat tires.

I have a "SPARE" GSR trans that I just rebuilt. I welded the Diff in it so I would not have to buy a LSD for a spare trans to save a couple bucks. I have had to use it multiple times (Drag Racing) For this purpose it works great, and for the money, this trans seems to be better than my PPG/Quife trans. I have about $400 into a this trans, and it is a great track ONLY trans when I need it.

I will add that if you are attempting to drive on the street with it....game over. It is very, very hard to turn at the track for those short period of times, Street driving would ruin your axles and hoop around everywhere, all the time.
