For an extra couple hundred you can probably pop the Quaife in (works with the celica/mr-s) and get a lifetime warranty on the best helical LSD on the planet. TRD helical is probably fine but w/o tests on its durability I would rather spend the coin and know you have the better reputation in your transaxle.

PS: When helical LSD's actually break they usually do huge damage compared to clutch-types that just burn clutch plates. This usually happens when three-wheeling around a corner and winding it up...when the 4th wheel lands *BOOM!*. A classic Torsen OEM "whoopsie".

As for the final gear set you can always replace close ratio 1-5 with a set from Techno Pro Spirts for about $800. Then you can say goodbye to the nice freeway mileage and probably get some nasty gear whine. Thats a good and a bad thing.
