Has anybody with an awd 2g used a phantom lsd unit in their cars?

I know it works for the fwd guys ,so my initial thoughts were to place one lsd unit in the front and then one in the rear , but since im not all that knowledgable on the subject any advice or comments would be grately appreciated.

The reason for the question is , to my understanding our awd cars when looked at carefully put more power to one wheel in the front and one in the back.
Hence were really using two wheels and a portion of the other two.

My thoughts were if by installing an lsd "insert" type that it would help better relay the traction duties to all four tires somewhat more evenly ,hence my question is can i install these inserts lsd's into my 95 awd ?

And if not why?
 
as a FWD'r that had the phantom slip installed I can tell you the only thing it did for me was keep the car from locking up when the diff. exploded recently! other than that it would still sit there and burn out one tire.. it never grabbed both bascially it was a expensive trinket for the car.
on a AWD save the money and get the center diff welded.. from what I have seen a welded center diff is stronger that a quaife..
