Aftermarket LSDs work A LOT better than the OEM Helical/Viscous units. Both OEM units are not full limited slips, but theyre both a thousand times better than the stock open diff.

I would only recommend you weld your diff ONLY if you plan on making your car track only. Welded diffs create a lot of excess wear on your tires if you daily drive the car. you will be going thru sets of rears every 3-6 months (if youre lucky). LSDs allow the wheels to spin at a different rotational speeds when making turns so you dont chew up your outer tire (if i remember correctly). with a welded diff, both tires spin at the same rate which is great for drifting, but horrible when youre trying to make a normal right turn in traffic and that outer tire starts burning itself.
