It would yeah, hard on tyres too. Your better off fitting a 2way diff.. she'll slide when u want her to and keep her in line when u dont :)

Oh rite, my mistake.. Just that a mate of mine had a sierra on the road for a while with a welder in it and he reckoned it was lethal at times, i presumed it be the same with all road-goin cars with welded diffs.

welder was fine in my e30 just make sure your rear subframe bushings are ok.
welder will put abit more pressure on them
on the e30's the bushing on the back off the diff that it hangs on espically.
just my experience in my e30 anyway
