I found one:

Does that price sound about right? Also, how good is this LSD in comparison to the clutch types? How hard is it to install?

LSD is not hard to install, just time consuming. You have to be on point with the torque's and what not.

If you are not sure you can do it. Dont, a newb will mess something up.

Helical and clutch type are different.

Helical uses gears to distribute the torque between wheels. Its never locks up, In a straight line it distributes the torque 50/50 ratio, but lets say you were turning and one wheel loses traction. The gears would then remove the torque from the wheel with less traction distribute that torque to the wheel with greater traction so the distribution of torque would be about 20/80.

A clutch type diffential uses clutch plates to distribute torque. Whether its 1,1.5 or 2 way. The plates engage under load and lock up allow the 50/50 power distribution.

There is another thread on how each function so go read it.

Helical is great for autocross and roadrace not so much for drifting.
